SUMMARY:AWWA Water Infrastructure Conference – Indianapolis\, IN
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to host a session at the AWWA Water Infrastructure Conference. Our session is titled: “A Day in the Life of a Risk Register: Managing Risk Throughout the Collaborative Delivery of a Project Life Cycle.” \n\nWCDA is excited to feature insights from our award-winning 2025 Research Report on risk discipline in a dynamic session exploring how project teams can effectively manage risk throughout the collaborative delivery project life cycle. Join industry leaders and utility owners as they share key research findings and real-world case studies that demonstrate how risk discipline supports stronger collaboration\, better decision-making\, and more successful project outcomes. As collaborative delivery continues to grow across the water sector\, this session will provide practical strategies for navigating risk across progressive design-build\, CMAR\, and other collaborative delivery models—helping teams deliver innovative\, efficient\, and resilient infrastructure solutions for their communities. \nSpeakers:\nLeofwin Clark\, Water Collaborative Delivery Association\nBarbara Martin\, Water Collaborative Delivery Association\nWill Elledge\, DC Water\nBrandon Flaherty\, Louisville MSD\nWilliam Menkhaus\, St. Paul Regional Water Services\nJessica Adams-Weber\, HDR\nErik Anderson\, Wharton-Smith \n\nWHEN:\nMonday\, August 31\, 2026 – 3:30 pm – 5:00 pm \nWHERE:\nJW Marriott Indianapolis Hotel\n10 S West St.\nIndianapolis\, IN 46204 \nMORE INFORMATION AND REGISTRATION\n
