Early registration is now underway for the “Stewarding Our Water Future” conference, which will be held on Thursday and Friday, March 21-22, at Amarillo Area Foundation’s Harrington Center for Philanthropy, located at 919 S. Polk Street in Amarillo.

The purpose of this conference is: 1) to shift the public conversation about groundwater depletion toward a more hopeful narrative built on a wide range of innovative solutions, and 2) to expand the stakeholder coalition focused on improving the water realities we live with and leave for future generations.

The two-day conference runs from 9:30 am–5:30 pm on March 21, and from 9:30 am-3:30 pm on March 22. It is presented by Ogallala Commons, with major support provided by Tecovas Foundation, as well as sponsorships from a dozen other organizations.

In addition to more than a dozen sessions featuring 17 speakers (see link to conference schedule and speaker bios below), the conference will offer three Field Tours in the Amarillo area (choose a tour when registering) via 56-passenger buses, as well as exhibits during break sessions, and a closing small group segment on Friday afternoon to involve attendees in building strategies for regenerating our water resources.

From Jan. 16-Feb.14, you can get the early registration price of $50/single day or $90/both days. After Feb. 14, the regular registration price is $60/single day or $100/two days.

This conference will lead to a number of follow-up roundtable discussions and field days during 2024 and 2025. Please join this important educational endeavor by registering for the conference, and sharing this information with friends.
