About this Event

The John and Kay Hargrave Water Sustainability Conference 2025 (formerly OkaCon) is the premier gathering for leaders in water sustainability, conservation, and economic development. This year’s theme emphasizes conservation as a business model, exploring how strategic water planning and resource efficiency drive both sustainability and economic growth. Discussions will highlight the business case for conservation, demonstrating how investing in water sustainability yields long-term financial and environmental benefits. Speakers will also focus on efficiency as a driver of effectiveness, showcasing innovative technologies and strategies that maximize resource use while minimizing waste. Additionally, the conference will examine approaches to using resources more efficiently, particularly in industries, agriculture, and municipalities, to ensure long-term resilience. A key topic will be the distinction between complex and complicated water planning, addressing the need for adaptive, forward-thinking policies that tackle the evolving challenges of water sustainability.  

By uniting industry experts, policymakers, and thought leaders, the John and Kay Hargrave Water Sustainability Conference 2025 will chart a path toward a more resilient and economically viable future for water management. Join us as we collaborate to ensure a sustainable water future for our communities!
