​ROI2 (Return on Investment & Impact) 
Join the 1st SWAN Scaling Innovation Workshop!
​
On May 9th, diverse industry stakeholders (e.g. water utilities, startups, investors, solution providers, engineering firms, etc.) will transform into a start-up company.  No suits allowed.

Attendees will be divided into small teams with a challenge of a given start-up with a validated case study and clear ROI, but unsure how to scale to the next level with measurable impact. Teams will brainstorm creative ideas and present their findings to a shark tank of judges.
