Why Attend the 2026 Annual Conference?

Each year, the UWI Annual Conference brings together leaders from across California’s water community for thoughtful discussions, expert insights and high-level networking. The conference provides a unique forum where water professionals and industry leaders can engage in open dialogue about the issues shaping our water future.

The 2026 Annual Conference will feature dynamic speakers, timely topics and opportunities to connect with colleagues from across the West in a collaborative environment. This year's Annual Conference's theme is Bursting the Bubbles: From Myths to Mastery.
