What participants said about last year’s briefing:

“I really enjoyed the diversity of viewpoints on the panels, very engaging and thought-provoking to hear so many ideas/solutions/interpretations.”

“Very well organized, excellent speakers, non-partisan, well-rounded.”

“WEF is a great organization and I was happy to see the silent auction with a wide selection of fun items that people could bid on – more fun than just writing a check.”

The Briefing ends about 5 p.m. and is followed by a reception where attendees have a chance to network with speakers and other attendees. This year’s reception is sponsored by Downey Brand.

In addition, we host a silent auction to benefit our Water Leaders program. Items up for bid often include lunches with key people in the water world, hotel stays and wine baskets.
