Sustainable Silicon Valley has joined Acterra: Action for a Healthy Planet and SSV’s Water Program is now Acterra Water.

One thing remains the same, however: WaterPalooza! continues getting bigger and bolder as a festival of ideas across the water cycle. “You don’t win on Climate if we lose on Water,” VERGE’s Sarah Golden recently opined, and we heartily agree. These interesting times demand we go for the big win-win, smashing smashes silos, investigating interdependencies, framing challenges and identifying opportunities.

WaterPalooza! is comprised of a series of “deep watershed dives” into an ocean of timely topics, engrossing and interrelated water, climate and resiliency issues. Join an audience of thought leaders, changemakers, stakeholders and gatekeepers from throughout the Bay Area, California and beyond.
