The 9th Annual Next Generation Water Summit returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico June 11-12, 2026. Community tours will commence on Saturday, June 13 following the Summit. Registration will be available soon for both in-person and virtual attendance.
The theme for the upcoming event will be “Increasing Demand, Declining Realities“ and will convene members of the development community with water policymakers to address current water conservation practices in the Southwest.
Our Keynote Speaker
Brett Walton, an award-winning reporter for Circle of Blue, will deliver the keynote on Thursday, June 11. He will provide an update on the Colorado River Compact negotiations. “It's a stressful period for the Colorado River as the basin attempts to reckon with a drier future,” Walton states. “At the same time, a crisis is an opportunity for fresh ideas and trailblazing. With recent record heat and scant snow in the mountains, this is a pivotal year for one of the country’s most important river basins.”
Session topics will include:
· Healthy Soils, Saving Water
· Integrating Sustainability in Water Conservation
· Graywater Alliance Update
· New Aquifer Mapping Data and Why It Matters
· Innovative Product Panel
Early bird pricing will remain the same as it has been for the past 2 years, with a fee of $199 for in-person and $79 for virtual attendance.
