DENVER - To protect public health during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and the Smart Water Networks Forum (SWAN) today announced that the Nov. 10-11 AWWA | SWAN International Smart Water Symposium will proceed as a virtual event. 

Details related to this event are available on AWWA’s Events and Education webpage.

“While our commitment to public health protection during the ongoing pandemic prevents us from hosting the symposium in-person in Austin, Texas, AWWA and SWAN are excited that attendees will have the opportunity to explore the latest in smart water innovations using a first-rate virtual platform,” said AWWA CEO David LaFrance. “A virtual event is a fitting way to deliver content on data-driven, digital solutions, and we look forward to an outstanding learning experience.”

“In these critical times, there is a great desire to learn about the latest smart water innovations and industry trends,” said SWAN executive director Amir Cahn. “Following our successful SWAN 2020 Virtual Conference, we’re excited to keep sharing new ideas and further engage with global leaders to advance the water sector.”
