AWWA ACE 2026

Executive Director Kelly Murray attended the American Water Works Association ACE 2026 conference, touring the expo hall and connecting with water utilities, industry associations, and solutions providers. Topics of interest mirrored those challenges occurring within other sectors such as the secure and safe adoption of AI within the sector, the requirements and strain on the water sector as a dependency, preparation, planning, and support for emergencies, and the need for strong voices at the table to relay critical infrastructure challenges and priorities. All topics that came up at the Cross-Sector Symposium and are on the list of potential annual priorities for CXC.
