This year's conference, The Business of Water, features morning panels that will broaden our understanding of negotiating, financing, and securing reliable supplies of water, along with the implications of these activities. The first panel, moderated by Rod Smith, President of Stratecon, brings Mike Irlbeck, Director of Business Development at EPCOR Water, Chris Higgins, Executive Director at Goldman-Sachs, and John H. Moffatt, Economic Development Director at Pima County together to discuss financing and benefits of public-private partnerships for projects in Texas, California, and Arizona. We follow this with a panel on water transactions and their role in creating sustainable water supplies. David Wegner, Senior Scientific Consultant, Jacobs Engineering will moderate the panel, which includes Peter Culp, Partner at Culp & Kelly addressing transaction complexities, Cynthia Campbell, Water Resources Management Advisor for City of Phoenix discussing lessons learned, and Richard Morrison, Chairman of Morrison Enterprises presenting thoughts on water transaction ethics. Join us for a full day of thought-provoking presentations and community conversation.
