Dear Colleagues,

I’d like to personally welcome each of you to the 2012 Water Technology Innovation

Cluster Conference and to southwestern Ohio. This is an exciting time for our orga-

nization and for our region, as the Confluence, Water Technology Innovation Cluster

continues to grow and adapt, harnessing regional expertise to encourage economic

development through technical innovation.

The growing partnership between Confluence and the Dayton Development Coali-

tion’s Dayton Water Roundtable brings together a special combination of assets that

will allow our region to play a significant role at the global level. These assets include

federal laboratories such as U.S. EPA water laboratories in Cincinnati, the Air Force

Research Laboratory in Dayton, major research universities, innovative water utilities,

and a wide array of water related businesses, as well as unprecedented cooperation

between regional development agencies. Furthermore, the Cincinnati-Dayton area

and surrounding tri-state region boast one of the world’s most abundant and diverse

collections of freshwater resources. The vast array of hydrogeologic settings within

the region provides an unsurpassed test-bed for “all things water.”

The impressive lineup of keynote and featured speakers for this conference is direct

evidence of our early success. Over the next two days, you’ll hear from a number of

industry leaders representing both the public and private sector providing valuable

insight into the regulatory environment, market demand, and emerging technolo-

gies. The conference tracks on the first day will explore specific practices and op-

portunities. We trust the conference will be a valuable and rewarding experience for

you and your organization.

Finally, before closing, I’d like to thank you for attending the conference and support-

ing this initiative. We truly value your involvement and support. Please stay tuned

for exciting developments from Confluence throughout the year. I hope to see you

all at the 2013 Confluence conference and celebration commemorating the 100th

anniversary of water research in Cincinnati, May 6-8.

Sincerely,

Alan Vicory
