SUMMARY:AWRA-WA Annual State Section Conference 2026
DESCRIPTION:Theme: The Future is Now: How the emerging issues of the recent past have come to define our water-scarce present. \nWhen: Thursday\, October 8\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM (program); 5:00 – 6:30 PM (networking reception) \nWhere: Mountaineers Seattle Program Center\, 7700 Sand Point Way NE\, Seattle\, WA \nDescription: A quarter of the way through the twenty-first century\, we find ourselves in a changed landscape of water resource management in Washington. Widespread difficulty obtaining new water supplies to support population growth inhibits sustainable and affordable development. New competing demands for water to support clean energy development\, data centers\, and other emergent technologies are stressing existing water supplies and suppliers even further. Meanwhile\, four consecutive years of snowpack drought have fundamentally revised our expectations of future water supply availability. And the increasing occurrence and severity of acute weather events (such as heat domes and atmospheric rivers) have unbalanced the historical hydrograph away from periods of peak demand. \nThe 2026 AWRA-WA State Conference will bring together water professionals\, policymakers\, engineers\, scientists\, lawyers\, students\, and regulators to explore the challenges and opportunities ahead through thought-provoking sessions and candid discussions. \nWhy Attend?   \n\nHear from leading experts and decision-makers shaping Washington’s water future.\nEngage in open conversations to learn from past efforts and shape smarter strategies moving forward.\nGain actionable insights and strategies for navigating uncertainty and change.\nExpand your network with water resource professionals from across the state.\nYour registration includes a 2027 AWRA-WA membership and directly supports chapter events\, student fellowship program\, and this conference.\n\nNew ideas\, new voices\, and diverse expertise are essential right now. Whether you’re just entering the industry or bringing years of expertise\, be part of the conversations shaping the future of water management in Washington State. \nRegistration\, speakers\, and session details are coming soon. \nDownload a PDF of the conference flyer and share across your network!
