Welcome Back and HigHligHts from day one 9:00am–9:15am

We’ll review the highlights of the discussions from our first day and take a look at the key themes driving the conversations today.

Breakfast 8:30am–9:00am

Breakout sessions 9:15am–11:00am

emerging markets – understanding needs & accessing innovation 11:30am–12:30Pm

We will bring the group back together to discuss water innovation needs in emerging markets, including accessing innovation ecosystems in these new markets, accelerating innovation to meet global water demands, and applying local solutions to global issues.

Break 11:00am–11:30am

luncH 12:30Pm–1:30Pm

energy-Water nexus – Beyond tHe Buzz 1:30Pm–2:30Pm

The last session of the day will focus on uncovering the real innovation challenges and opportunities at the heart of the energy-water nexus. In particular, we will explore opportunities to spur innovation through integrated systems-approaches, resiliency as it relates to the two integrated systems, and the convergence of the smart water and energy grid.

summit kick-off and Welcome luncH 12:00Pm–1:30Pm

We will kick off with a welcome lunch for all summit participants spending time getting to know everyone in attendance and getting an overall sense of priorities and goals for the next 48 hours. We will set the context for innovation in the water ecosystem. • Definethetopinnovationopportunitiesandchallengesinthewaterecosystem • Reviewlessonslearnedoverthepastfewyears • Identifyprogressmadeinthepastyearininnovation • Discusswaystoacceleratesolutionsandstrengthentheecosystem

extraction to distriBution: can data drive a smarter suPPly netWork? 1:30Pm–2:30Pm

To get the conversation started, we will begin with the first phase of water’s journey—extraction to distribution—where system losses and contamination contribute to significant inefficiencies in the water cycle. From leak detection and pressure control to asset management and online water-quality monitoring, the goal of this session is to explore opportunities to create a more ef-ficient, smarter water supply system with a focus on how data can play a role in getting us over the barriers. We will consider ways data can help to reduce loss in transmission, better manage utility assets, and turn non-revenue water into profit. Where are the opportunities to transform the water infrastructure, including decentralizing the water system where appropriate? How can our innovation community help utilities and engineering firms safely implement new technologies and business models?

Break 2:30Pm–2:45Pm

use to consumPtion: Predicting demand and managing use 2:45Pm–3:45Pm

at the consumption phase, there are major innovation opportunities for both customers and providers, and an increasing need for both sides to understand the other better. In this session we plan to explore how innovation can enable utilities to better predict customer demands, allow customers to more efficiently manage their own water, improve the customer-utility relationship, and broaden education about water conservation. We will consider: How can technology lead to better understanding of customer water needs? What are the opportunities to enable water conservation through technology? How can the industry better engage consumers? How can utilities incentivize consumers to better manage their own water use?

Break 3:45Pm–4:00Pm

WasteWater treatment: recycling, reuse & resource recovery 4:00Pm–5:00Pm

In this session, we will discuss the last phase in the water cycle: wastewater treatment. While once seen as an issue of treatment and disposal, opportunities for resource recovery as well as recycle and reuse are quickly changing how we understand the “end of life” for water. In this session we will explore: where are the most promising opportunities for wastewater? Can we implement this at the municipal level? What are the barriers to overcome with recycle and reuse practices? What role can industry play in turning wastewater into value?

Break 5:00Pm–5:15Pm

financing innovation tHrougHout tHe cycle 5:15Pm–6:15Pm

The obstacles to innovation for water innovation financing are well-documented. However, following a year of groundbreaking examples in water innovation financing, we will consider once again: What are the emerging models/mechanisms for financing that could play a role (e.g., “water as a service”)? How do we incentivize and make it easier for financially-strapped utilities to invest in innovation? What approaches for contracting, leasing, and co-funding models within water facilities and municipalities can help to reduce the financing barriers?

nature’s solutions 6:15Pm–6:30Pm

Spotlight on the role of biomimicry in finding innovative water solutions, with start-up incubator StartupNectar. Biomimicry is the process of emulating nature’s effective designs to drive product and service innovation. Hear how the Egy-osmo team improved irrigation conditions across agricultural Egypt by learning from the strategies of giraffes and camels to move and filter water.

Welcome recePtion and strolling dinner 6:30Pm–8:30Pm

oil & gas:

The Oil & Gas industry has long since used water throughout the value chain but this demand is now growing at a feverish pace. as leaders in the water technology sector, we seek to earn profit without compromising the planet. are these objectives at odds with each other? In this breakout session, we’ll discuss innovation at the intersection of water and fuels production, including produced water treatment and recycling, water reuse through injection, and how advanced water technologies can be adapted to the Oil & Gas sector to increase energy savings and mitigate environmental concerns. ashish aneja, Advanced Technologies Leader, GE craig Beckman, President, mIOX mark Blackwell, Environmental Opportunity Fund Investment Analyst, Cenovus Energy Inc. tom rooney, CEO,EnergyRecovery kirsten thorne, Manager, Environmental Strategy, Chevron

agriculture:

as the global population increases, water innovation will be critical to meeting multiplying food needs and agricultural output. This breakout session will explore issues critical to ensuring water efficiency throughout the agriculture industry, including the systems and sensors for determining optimum irrigation, recycling and reuse, water conservation, and resource recovery from agricultural wastewater. scott Bryan, COO, Imagine H2O lance donny, CEO, OnFarm steve maxwell, Managing Director, Techknowledgey Strategic Group aric olson, President, Jain Irrigation marty reed, Principal, TheRodaGroup

municiPalities & oPerators:

municipalities and operators may be facing some of the biggest, multifaceted challenges in the water ecosystem. In this session, we will explore innovation solutions to critical issues including accelerating the adoption of new technologies, tackling grand infrastructure challenges, multilateral collaboration, and more. doug Bennett, Conservation Manager, Nevada Utility richard Harris, Manager of Water Conservation, East Bay municipal Utility District (EBmUD)
