Partnering for Impact (PFI)
for California is a one-day, highly focused, interactive meeting of
thought-leaders, practitioners, academics, researchers, and regulators from
across the water sector. Now in its fifth year, this annual event brings
together an intimate gathering of industry leaders who strive to advance
technology and innovation through partnerships that take many different
shapes—all focused on improving the policy and regulatory environment to
facilitate growth in the water sector.
We invite you to join us for PFI 2025, where we
will discuss innovation and collaboration focused on two of the wastewater
sector’s more challenging topics: management of Reverse Osmosis Concentrate
(ROC) and emissions from nutrient removal.
We’ve structured our workshop to include dynamic
speakers, panel discussions, and roundtable interaction designed to foster
input through facilitated idea sharing at your table with fellow attendees.
PFI 2025 includes technological
leaders from all sectors of the water industry— research, agencies,
consultants, and regulators—who are involved in utility partnerships that
propel technology and innovation forward. We will
discuss a variety of pipelines to partnership, hear about innovation in
policies, technologies, and governance—and our closing keynote speaker will
facilitate a call-to-action for us all.
Originally, PFI was developed by a team led by
Rick Warner and continues as a national movement in cooperation with WEF and
other innovative engineering organizations. In California, PFI is organized
annually by CASA and CWEA, sponsored by the firms and individuals who are
active in CASA’s Engineering and Research Committee. We would like to thank our
volunteers and CASA/CWEA staff for their invaluable support.
Please sign up early, as the number of
participants is limited. We cannot wait to welcome you to PFI 2025!
