The Water Environment Federation Technical Exhibition and Conference – better known as WEFTEC – is the premier water event of choice for thousands of global water professionals looking to innovate solutions to global water challenges. This year’s conference – the 95^th event – is happening in the iconic water city of New Orleans, a location sure to inspire water professionals with stories of ground-breaking engineering and infrastructure projects, and of the people’s resilience.

To kick off Stantec’s week at WEFTEC, Art Umble will be performing at Jammin’4Water – the annual WEFTEC night of music that benefits the WEF Service Project organized b the Students and Young Professionals Committee (SYPC) as well as Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) charities.  

On Monday, our team will be on hand during the Career Fair for Students and Young Professionals to help eager engineers find their place in the world of water, Stantec Water. Visit us at booth #451 to learn about a world of opportunities, to excel among the best and brightest. We call it H20+U.
