2027 Call for Content

Accepting submissions from October 2 to November 30, 2027.

The WEF Collection Systems, Stormwater, Watershed (CSSW) Conference convenes leaders in collection systems, stormwater, and watershed management to advance innovative solutions to water challenges that help build resilience and advance the circular water economy.

To support a more integrated, holistic approach to solving water challenges, we invite practitioners and partners working across the entire water cycle to share real-world lessons, propose innovative ideas, and help shape a more connected, future-ready 2027 program. In addition to submissions focusing specifically on collection systems, stormwater and watershed management, submissions are also encouraged on the following topics: water resources management; groundwater and source-water protection; hydrologic and hydraulic modeling; climate adaptation and flood risk management; and decentralized/distributed systems for small systems.

We welcome abstracts and proposals from utility and water professionals, consultants, technology providers, academics, and regulators for interactive, forward-thinking sessions that advance practical solutions and strengthen community resilience. The technical program will consist of 28 technical sessions and 3 workshops – accepted submissions will fill these slots.
