Dear industry colleague,

Evolution is the natural by-product of any successful industry.

For the plumbing industry, evolution becomes even more important when it is linked to health and hygiene. Without new technologies, new ways of thinking, new Standards or even the mere discusssion of new ideas, systems and practices stagnate and lose touch with demand, supply and general thinking.

That's why it is important for countries around the globe to hold their own think tanks when it comes to moving plumbing practice forward.

In California next year, IAPMO in conjunction with the World Plumbing Council (WPC), is hosting the International Emerging Technology Symposium.

The Symposium aims to expose participants to emerging products and practices, exchange views on new trends in the industry and much more.

While www.worldplumbinginfo.com provides information on new technologies, think tanks such as the one above facilitate important personal discussions that all of industry should be part of.
