NOVEMBER 4-6, 2026

PORTOLA HOTEL & SPA MONTEREY, CA

Join us in Monterey, CA for the 2026 AWWEE Conference as we come together to connect, spark new ideas, and inspire one another while navigating change with purpose and momentum.

THIS YEAR’S THEME

Navigating Waves of Change

This part of the theme recognizes the dynamic and evolving nature of our industries. Professionals are continually navigating new policies, climate impacts, infrastructure needs, emerging technologies, and shifting societal expectations.

Just as navigating the ocean requires awareness, strategy, and adaptability, leaders in water, energy, and environmental fields must learn to respond thoughtfully to change while steering toward long-term sustainability.

Anchored in Purpose

While change is constant, the work in these fields is grounded in a deep commitment to service, stewardship, and community impact.

Being anchored in purpose reflects the guiding values that keep professionals focused on meaningful outcomes: protecting resources, strengthening infrastructure, advancing equity, and supporting future generations.

Bringing the Theme Together

As the water, energy, and environmental sectors continue to evolve, professionals must navigate new challenges while staying grounded in their mission to serve communities and protect natural resources. The 2026 AWWEE Conference will explore how we adapt to change while remaining anchored in purpose.
