This year’s Pacific Water Conference marked the return of the annual conference as an in-person event. It was so nice to reconnect with colleagues and friends at the Hawaii Convention Center on February 6-8, 2023. Everyone showed up in full-force with this year’s conference garnering over 790 attendees for the 2-day portion of conference and 137 exhibitor booths. In total, there were more than 1,000 individuals participating in this year’s conference.
