Series overview

A national series examining how technology meets the real operational problems utility professionals face every day — starting with the challenge, not the tool. Independent. Practical. Operational. Evidence-led.

Water and wastewater utilities are entering a period of unusually concentrated change. Aging infrastructure, tighter capital budgets, new regulatory requirements, workforce constraints, cybersecurity risks and rapidly advancing technologies are converging at the same time. The challenge is no longer simply finding new technology. It is understanding where investment actually improves operations, reduces risk and creates measurable value.

ACCOUNT → MEASURE → PREDICT → INSPECT → DEFEND → APPLY AI\n\n\nThe six chapters move from accounting for what a utility has, through measurement, prediction, inspection and defense, to the disciplined application of AI. Each event stands on its own; together they form one connected editorial series.

Each event combines a 90-minute national webinar with a permanent Post-Event Intelligence Report — turning expert discussion, research, audience questions and real-world experience into a practical resource utility teams can use after the event.
