The Partners Summit* is Water Mission’s annual conference, coinciding with World Water Day and our flagship Walk for Water. Created in 2011, the Partners Summit event immerses Water Mission’s most engaged partners in our culture, shares our appreciation, and provides networking opportunities. It is a chance to honor our partners’ outstanding achievements, deepen our relationships, and explore opportunities to expand our impact.
Together, we build sustainable, safe water solutions because safe water builds life. Thank you for building with us.
