February 20-21, 2025, in Tempe, Arizona at Arizona State University

Overview

Atmospheric water extraction or harvesting (AWH) is emerging as a potential solution to global water challenges, spanning from humanitarian and domestic drinking water needs to military operations or industrial water usage. Various industries, including beverage, healthcare, semiconductor, and data centers, are investing in research, pilot tests, and the integration of AWH into their water portfolio to achieve net-zero water footprints. Breakthroughs in material science, thermodynamics, and integrated process engineering are advancing AWH as an economical solution to be a new water source for these applications. The water quality produced by AWH is emerging as a new research area requiring attention

Logistics

We encourage participants to make hotel reservations as soon as possible to secure the best rates. The Omni hotel is preferred due to its location to the meeting location and reasonable rates.

Space is limited and will be filled on a first-to register basis.  Although we already have wonderful abstracts – we welcome all participants to contact us about bringing a poster to the venue (please inform us 2 weeks in advance).
