USGBC Northern California 20th Annual Water Conservation Showcase, June 15, 8am - 5pm, San Ramon, CA
Event Description
Since 2004, hundreds of advocates, researchers, business leaders, product manufacturers and government officials have gathered every year to address the most pressing water issues and challenges facing the state of California. Grab a ticket today for the showcase to learn more about scalable strategies and solutions to conserve one of Earth's most precious resources.
The 20th Anniversary Water Conservation Showcase will take place on June 15, 2023 at the San Ramon Valley Conference Center. You can join in person to engage with the expo and network with other water industry professionals.
