IDA LEADERS SUMMIT
About the Leaders Summit
2
The Leaders Summit responds to a growing need in the desalination and water reuse industry, the need to speak across sectors in order to effectively enact sustainable solutions. The effects of climate change, combined with the ever-growing demand for clean water across the globe, underscore the urgency of sustainable water solutions. At IDA, we understand the only way to create these solutions is by breaking down walls and building crossroads across industries and sectors to enlist the entire global community in our mission.
The Leaders Summit takes us one step closer to paving these crossroads. Bringing into dialogue executives from various sectors including finance, legal, project development, public and private utilities, and technical solution providers, the Summit will provide a common space for meaningful conversations to happen. Addressed topics include successful partnerships between the public and private sectors, recent market trends and their effect on financial investment and project funding, and how innovations in advanced water treatment solutions will perform across industries. The Summit is exclusive, with no more than 250 delegates, to ensure the intimacy and productivity of meetings between prominent leaders in the water and energy sectors. These kinds of conversations are increasingly necessary—and at IDA, we are working to make them happen.
IDA’s World Congress Leaders Summit will break down barriers and forge crossroads
towards sustainable solutions
