September 12-13, 2013
Austin Marriott South
Austin, TX
Our inaugural conference was held September 2013 in Austin, TX. More than 200 people gathered to learn about technological advancements in desal, Texas regulations, financing options, and lessons learned from existing projects. Our keynote speaker was Carlos Rubinstein, who had just been appointed Chairman of the Texas Water Development Board.No one in attendance has less knowledge of the Desal process than I. However, having attended the conference, I now feel like I am an ‘Expert.’ The subject matter helped to organize my thoughts concerning the planning, permitting, design, as well as additional facets of the processes. The lectures were very informative and I learned, not only from them, but from people in the hallway, the dining room and the bar. I would like to thank lecturers and the organizers for their first conference and I know the mechanics will improve over time.”
