official conference guide

Dear Colleagues, I’d like to personally welcome each of you to the 2012 Water Technology Innovation Cluster Conference and to southwestern Ohio. This is an exciting time for our organization and for our region, as the Confluence, Water Technology Innovation Cluster continues to grow and adapt, harnessing regional expertise to encourage economic development through technical innovation.

The growing partnership between Confluence and the Dayton Development Coalition’s Dayton Water Roundtable brings together a special combination of assets that will allow our region to play a significant role at the global level. These assets include federal laboratories such as U.S. EPA water laboratories in Cincinnati, the Air Force Research Laboratory in Dayton, major research universities, innovative water utilities, and a wide array of water related businesses, as well as unprecedented cooperation between regional development agencies. Furthermore, the Cincinnati-Dayton area and surrounding tri-state region boast one of the world’s most abundant and diverse collections of freshwater resources. The vast array of hydrogeologic settings within the region provides an unsurpassed test-bed for “all things water.”

The impressive lineup of keynote and featured speakers for this conference is direct evidence of our early success. Over the next two days, you’ll hear from a number of industry leaders representing both the public and private sector providing valuable insight into the regulatory environment, market demand, and emerging technologies. The conference tracks on the first day will explore specific practices and opportunities. We trust the conference will be a valuable and rewarding experience for you and your organization.

Finally, before closing, I’d like to thank you for attending the conference and supporting this initiative. We truly value your involvement and support. Please stay tuned for exciting developments from Confluence throughout the year. I hope to see you all at the 2013 Confluence conference and celebration commemorating the 100th anniversary of water research in Cincinnati, May 6-8.

Sincerely,

Alan Vicory Chairman, Board of Directors Confluence, Water Technology Innovation Cluster

At the University of Dayton, we believe in asking the big questions and searching for answers together.

And whether we’re partnering with a Fortune 100 company like GE — who’s building a $51 million research facility on our campus — or local entrepreneurs who are just getting started, we know that making a difference on a global level starts right here in the Miami Valley.
