The American Society of Plumbing Engineers (ASPE), the Alliance for Water Efficiency (AWE), the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO), and Plumbing Manufacturers International (PMI), in cooperation with the World Plumbing Council (WPC) will hold the sixth biennial Emerging Water Technology Symposium (EWTS) in Ontario, California in May 2018.

A Call for Abstracts for this event has been issued and is available for download here. It is still an international event and abstracts and participation from across the globe are welcome.

The EWTS, previously called the International Emerging Technology Symposium, has been renamed to better associate the event with water and plumbing related issues. It is being co-convened by the four associations, which have worked together closely together over the past few years to grow the symposium.

“Speaking on behalf of Barbara Higgens (PMI), Mary Ann Dickinson (AWE), Billy Smith (ASPE), and myself, we are looking forward to continuing our long-term commitment to convene the EWTS,” said The IAPMO Group chief executive Russ Chaney.

“The EWTS continues to grow and build upon a reputation for being a highly respected forum where attendees can learn about and discuss the challenges associated with delivering safe water in and around buildings and the new technologies that will play a role in addressing those challenges. We’re excited to work with ASPE, AWE, and PMI on developing another exciting technical program and networking event, and look forward to welcoming the many industry professionals who so graciously give of their time and share their knowledge to keep our homes and buildings safe.”
