A Vision for Water: Regional Collaboration, Local Impact

As part of Chicago Water Week, Metropolitan Planning Council (MPC) is convening state and local water leaders to take a long-term view of our region’s access to fresh, safe, clean water. Together, we’ll explore how regional collaboration can help us equitably thrive into the 22nd century.
Building on our 2024 event, Planning for Abundance and Scarcity, this invite-only event offers opportunities to connect with government, business, and civic leaders shaping this journey. The agenda features a fireside chat, networking, and a panel discussion on regional cooperation in the water sector—fostering critical conversations on building resilience into our water systems, which is fundamental to the health of people, communities, and businesses across our region and the Great Lakes.
This is the first of three invite-only gatherings designed to mobilize a regional response to local and federal challenges, bringing together leadership at local, regional, and state levels.
Join the conversation. Food provided.
This event is affiliated with Chicago Water Week, presented by Current.
This event is designed for water professionals.
