Profiting in the Water Industry Conference

The water market is one of the world's five largest markets, 
amounting to $400 billion, and growing by 7% annually. In comparison, the $600 billion energy market is growing 1% a year. The semiconductor market is considered sexy, but is only half the size of the water market.

Discover the investment opportunities that exist in the water industry. In the U.S. alone, the water industry is expected to grow 7% a year to $150 billion. One factor driving this growth is that America's water systems—some of which were built during the Lincoln administration-- are crumbling. As a result, there are more than 200,000 water main breaks per year and as much as 80% of the water intended for delivery to consumers is lost en route.

The nation's infrastructure for water delivery is in dire need of investment: the EPA suggests that $15 to $20 billion per year needs to be spent to address these issues versus current spending of around $3 billion per year. 

The worldwide demand for water and water treatment is torrential. For instance, China plans to build 375 wastewater treatment facilities by 2009. The World Bank has estimated that by 2007 investments of between $400-$600 billion will be required to meet the demand for fresh water. 

Get a primer on how regulation is impacting the water landscape. Our panel with leading water regulators will discuss how transfer rights,  water infrastructure ownership, ability to gain governmental approvals for new developments, and the rate setting mechanisms impact your portfolio companies. 

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to listen to executives, from leading publicly-traded water utilities, securities analysts and regulators, discuss how you can maximize your returns on water-related investments.

What are the most promising and profitable
niches in the $150 billion Water Industry?

In answering this question, we assembled a unique blend of senior executives from many of the most prominent publicly-traded water utilities, securities analysts and regulators.

• The corporate executives will deliver roadshow-like presentations in which they will discuss their companies’ business models, competition, regulatory environments as well as plans for capital expenditure and plans for growth. 

• Our regulators will deliver compelling insights relating to regulatory rulings, public-private partnerships, rate setting issues, eminent domain, and water quality. 

• Our securities analysts will provide crucial insight into trends such as consolidation, rate increases, weather sensitivity, capital expenditure requirements, privatizations, diversification opportunities and dividend policies. 

Water treatment and delivery is impossible without investment.  However, investment without consulting with the world’s leading water authorities is not conducive to maximizing returns on investment. Quench your thirst for insight into investing in the most promising water companies. 

Our most recent Water Conference was sold out so be sure to take advantage of our early registration rate. We look forward to seeing you on June 8th in New York City.
