Today, we are excited to announce the agenda for our upcoming:
Water 2.0 Conference: Digitally Connecting the Water Industry

The Water 2.0 Conference: Digitally Connecting the Water Industry will focus on the use of data analytics, software, cyber security for water utilities and industrial water users. Participants will include water and energy industry authorities, utilities professionals and representatives from the EPA.
