Annual WELL Conferences

The WELL 2021 Virtual Conference on May 27th aims to bring the link between water and the economy into the spotlight. While the world remains focused on the ongoing pandemic and subsequent economic challenges, WELL will highlight how water plays a pivotal role in the state’s economic recovery. This all-encompassing conference will leave people walking away with this key takeaway: Water is a gift, and if cared for properly, it can play an important role in the state’s most pressing economic and social problems.

Panels:

1. Investing in the Water Sector to Boost the Economy During and After COVID

2. Human Right to Water Challenges in Urban and Rural California

3. Affordable Water for a More Resilient California
