Liquid Assets: Financing Texas’ Water Future

SMFS is holding this event in collaboration with the UT Austin LBJ School and its newly launched Center on Municipal Capital Markets.

With rising demand, aging infrastructure, and unpredictable climate patterns, Texas faces a growing challenge: how to ensure reliable, sustainable water access for the future and, of course, how to pay for it. This panel will bring together experts for an interdisciplinary dialogue on what resources we have, what we need, and what it takes to bridge the gap, while also exploring opportunities for innovation in technology and financing. 

Following the panel, join us for a reception and scrum for some networking and a spirited discussion about an array of topics across different sectors that are top of mind for municipal analysts. Light bites, beer and wine will be served.

The event is free of charge for all attendees. The dress code is business casual.
