Water & AI: Policy at the Speed of Technology
About this Event

The Water Center at Penn is pleased to present our third annual Spring Water Policy Forum, to be held in person at Fitts Auditorium in Golkin Hall on the University of Pennsylvania’s campus. This year’s Forum will explore Water & AI: Policy at the Speed of Technology, examining how rapidly evolving technologies are reshaping water governance, decision making, and infrastructure management.

Convened in partnership with Penn Carey Law School, the Forum will bring together policymakers, professionals working across water, climate, and infrastructure systems, researchers, and students for keynote and framing remarks, followed by panel and commentator discussions that connect emerging tools and data-driven approaches to real-world policy and implementation challenges. Conversations will focus on how the water sector can adapt, govern, and deploy new technologies responsibly and effectively.

The Forum will begin with a lunch that provides students with an opportunity to engage directly with leaders in the field, deepen their understanding of water policy at a moment of rapid technological change, and build relationships that support their professional growth.
