The week includes three main events. Hosted by Rethink Events and WaterTAP, the fifth annual World Water-Tech North America Summit (Nov. 2-3) will bring international utilities, technology leaders, entrepreneurs and investors to Toronto to brainstorm new approaches to the most significant challenges facing the global water and wastewater sectors.

The World Water-Tech North America Summit is an annual summit organized by UK-based Rethink Events in partnership with WaterTAP. The summit focuses on accelerating the adoption of advanced technologies by municipalities and utilities to meet future water demand, and brings together 200+ senior industry executives for two days of networking and discussion.
