The 3rd Annual BlueTech Forum: Thinking Outside The Bubble is taking place on May 30th 2012 in San Francisco. Organized by O2 Environmental Inc., this fast-paced, collaborative Forum will educate you and challenge your thinking.

The aim of the Forum is to provide a meeting place for anyone involved in all aspects of new and innovative Water Technologies. The Forum brings together Water Start-ups, the large Water Corporations (GE Water, Veolia etc), Research Institutes (Batelle Institute, Stanford University), Water Utilities (American Water, PUB Singapore) and those involved in investment in new water technologies (XPV Capital, Vantage Point Venture Partners).

The first half of the day will feature the BlueTech Showcase, designed to give a platform to early stage, innovative Water Technology Companies. Each Company has the opportunity to present to the audience, highlighting their value proposition and business strategy.

The afternoon program will feature two keynote conversations with Jerry Yudelson and Frank Rijsberman. There will also be three sessions with renowned Water Industry Experts. The panelists will discuss the future of Urban Water Systems, explore the complete story of one of biggest acquisitions of 2011- the acquisition of Norit X-Flow by Pentair, and give us a glimpse into technologies of the future from the world’s leading Research Institutes.

A new feature of the forum this year will be two field trips on Thursday, May 31st; NASA Ames Research Laboratory, and Stanford University Craig Criddle Research Group.

The reception directly following the Forum will give all participants an excellent opportunity to network, meet other water innovation leaders and share ideas with other water experts.
