Membrane Technology CONFERENCE & EXPOSITION

February 13–17, 2017 Long Beach Convention Center Long Beach, California www.awwa.org/amta/Membrane2017 Presented by America’s Authority in Membrane Treatment

Improving America’s Waters Through Membrane Treatment and Desalting

2017

Membrane Technology CONFERENCE & EXPOSITION The Premier Event for Membrane Technology The Membrane Technology Conference & Exposition explores the development and implementation of membrane technologies in water, wastewater, reuse, and industrial membrane systems as well as operation and maintenance of membrane equipment and facilities. Advances in membrane technology are being implemented by communities, businesses, and innovators responding to changing water demands and supplies, as well as the need for efficiency and sustainability. 2017 MTC attendees will enjoy three full days of cuttingedge presentations, with numerous networking opportunities to learn and share. The conference also offers technical facility tours, pre-conference workshops, and a comprehensive exhibit hall with more than 70 companies, roundtable sessions, and dedicated exhibit hall time to explore and connect. As North America’s thirst for high-quality sustainable water supplies increases, the MTC becomes even more vital. Join us to stay current and prepare for the future.
