5th Annual BGNDRF WIN Workshop

The goal of the WIN Workshop is to provide clients of the Bureau of Reclamation's Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility (BGNDRF) the opportunity to share their work with a broader audience in a rich environment for networking with potential customers, investors, partners, and other interested parties.

At this year's event, in addition to presentations by organizations with projects at BGNDRF, participants will hear speakers from BGNDRF, the Bureau of Reclamation, the US Department of Energy, US Environmental Protection Agency, and Keynote Speaker Brent Alspach of Arcadis.

Registrants can register to present a 3-minute pitch. Pitches may be on any topic relevant to WIN Workshop participants. This gives audience members greater opportunity to participate and increases networking opportunities for all.
