Convened in conjunction with the World Plumbing Council (WPC), the 2010 International Emerging Technology Symposium will bring a range of expertise together to discuss matters of plumbing, health and water efficiency.

This two-day event will provide participants with an opportunity to view presentations and engage in timely discussions on how the water utility, manufacturing, engineering, and trade industries have found solutions through emerging technologies in the water efficiency, plumbing and mechanical industries.

This event is a follow-up to the inaugural Emerging Technologies Symposium that was held in Chicago in August 2008 and is designed to provide a portal for IAPMO’s partners to display and demonstrate their innovative solutions to water and efficiency related needs and regulatory developments.

Presentations and panels will discuss emerging trends, practices and products.

IAPMO is seeking sponsors, presenters and panelists to participate in the symposium; especially experts in the following fields:

• Water quality, sanitation and health
• Water and energy efficiency
• Water reuse
• Water and embedded energy
• Solar, geothermal and other renewable energies
• New technologies in fat, oil and grease (FOG) discharge mitigation
• Other topics suggested by participants

“This symposium represents an exciting opportunity to highlight how our industry creates and adapts to emerging technologies through the use of a vital emerging technology,” said IAPMO Executive Director GP Russ Chaney.

“The event promises to be tremendously informative, as we trust a great many unique organizations will seize the opportunity by providing their most highly-qualified experts as presenters and panelists.”

Goals of the Emerging Technology Symposium
• Provide outstanding networking opportunities with experts in the fields of water and energy efficiency
• Expose participants to emerging products and practices.
• Exchange views on new trends in the industry.
• Share ideas and approaches on bringing emerging technologies to market.
• Discuss innovative green plumbing and mechanical concepts.
• Provide a vision for a more efficient future for plumbing and mechanical systems.

The mission of the World Plumbing Council is to unite the world plumbing industry to safeguard and protect the environment and the health of nations, for the benefit of all, to develop and promote the image and standards of the plumbing industry worldwide, to encourage and facilitate the exchange of information, ideas and technology between plumbing industry organizations and individuals worldwide and to provide and share information regarding research projects and technology that may be applicable to the plumbing industry and the people they serve.

The International Emerging Technology Symposium meets all these objectives.
