Rethinking Water 2026: Accelerating the Flow of Capital to Water
Over the past seven years, Rethinking Water has become one of the industry's premier forums for bringing together leaders from across the water ecosystem. This year's New York conference builds on that foundation with an increased focus on one of the industry's greatest opportunities and challenges: Mobilizing the capital needed to modernize water infrastructure and accelerate innovation.
The conference will convene investors, utility leaders, corporate executives, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, and technology innovators for a full day of thought-provoking discussions and meaningful networking. Together, we'll explore how public and private capital can work alongside technological innovation, policy, and industry expertise to address the most pressing challenges facing the U.S. water sector.

A full agenda will follow.
