🪑 The Table: Where Water Leadership Begins
For the past five years, WaterRising has quietly convened non-disclosed roundtables, known simply as The Table, in over 30 cities around the world. These intimate, off-the-record gatherings have brought together leaders, allies, and changemakers across the water sector to share insights, challenge norms, and shape the future of water governance.
In 2022, this global dialogue went public with the launch of the WaterWoman Table, a series of live-streamed thought leadership conversations exploring how the water sector is addressing workforce gaps and leadership disparities. Debuting at World Water Week in Stockholm, the first public Table events focused on how data, innovation, and inclusive leadership can accelerate the transition to a more resilient and responsive water future.
Since then, WaterWoman Tables have continued at major convenings including:
- WEFTEC (New Orleans & Chicago)
- UN 2023 Water Conference (New York City)
- London Climate Week
- Cannes Lions Creative Festival
- Conference on Policies on Climate Change
- World Economic Forum
- United Nations General Assembly
These cross-sector dialogues have explored:
- Recruiting and Retaining Talent in The Water Sector
- What water resilience looks like in 2030 and 2050, and who’s leading the way
- How global brands are addressing water risk and opportunity through circular strategies
- How utilities, regulators, and policymakers are rethinking leadership and accountability
