Launching in 2027, the WQA Industry Strategy Forum brings water quality professionals together to explore the issues, opportunities and ideas shaping our industry.
The Forum replaces WQA’s Mid-Year Leadership Conference (MYLC), which concluded in 2025, with a new focus on strategic dialogue, fresh perspectives and meaningful connections across the water quality industry.
A clearer view of what comes next.
Step back from the day-to-day to consider the forces shaping water quality. Exchange perspectives with company leaders, manufacturers, technical professionals, emerging leaders and WQA volunteers. Leave with fresh insight, stronger relationships and ideas to bring back to your work.
Open to WQA members and other relevant industry participants.
A setting for better conversations
Lakeside views, 88 acres of woodland, inviting meeting spaces and on-site dining create room to connect, think and move ideas forward.
