2018 AWE Annual Member Meeting & Reception

Published: August 22, 2018

AWE is pleased to announce that at its annual member meeting and reception in Las Vegas on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 the featured speaker will be Dr. Frank Loge, Director of the U.C. Davis Center for Water-Energy Efficiency.

Frank’s talk entitled Water and Energy and Water in Wine: Identifying Policy Solutions for Improving Water Efficiency in California, will address two key areas of his research: how much energy has been saved in California with water conservation programs (spoiler alert: more than was funded in energy efficiency programs!); and also how water and wine make for a very interesting water efficiency story.

Come join us at this year’s annual member meeting and reception. Held as part of the annual WaterSmart Innovations Conference and Exposition  in Las Vegas, all AWE members and prospective members are welcome to attend. The meeting and reception takes place Tuesday, October 2, 2018 from 5:00–7:30 p.m. in Sonoma C Room at the South Point Hotel and Conference Center. Come and mingle. We hope to see you there.
