Annual Meeting 2023 Theme: The Currents That Connect Us

This year's theme focuses on all the ways water touches and impacts our lives, both in obvious ways and subtler ones. We've curated a line-up that will move you to advocate, encourage you to reflect, and empower you to put aside differences and reach across politics, race, religion, the rural-urban divide and more to protect the beautiful planet we ALL call "home".
