Best conference hands down with the most interactive experience with vendors. The best learning experience I have ever been too.

- Jill Shelton, City for Bandera

"Great format with each vendor and their 25 minutes. It was just enough time for them to hit the highlights of what they have to offer but not to long so it drags out."

- Ben Sigloh, City of Redmond

"It was a great opportunity to not only learn of the latest technologies but also discuss the status of project with other utility attend"

-Matt McLaughlin, Independence MO Water

"It was great to get a quick snapshot of what technologies are available today without sitting with a vendor for 1.5 hours each to do a demo. It was even greater to use those snapshots to understand how other utilities are using the technology."

-Melissa Grove, Aurora Water

"The presentations, vendors, and the information they provided was great. The information and networking from the conference will help assist our office in making changes to our aging infrastructure and protect our communities."

-Ethan Schuth, Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma

"What a great opportunity to learn of the new technologies and products that are available to the water and wastewater industries... without the pressure of an overzealous salesman."

-Scott Taylor, City of St. George

-Raymond Hoppenworth, City of Lakeland - Water Utilities

"Learning of and about new products and products to look for helps us to become a forward thinking and smarter utility, this is what the Smart Water Summit offers."
