ABOUT THE WATERFRONT CONFERENCE
Now in its 17th year, the Waterfront Conference is the premier forum exploring the challenges of and solutions to climate change, sustaining strong coastal economies, equitable access at our waterfronts and to our shared waterways, and a healthier open-space environment.

Multidisciplinary solutions form the bedrock of planning and building for a better and more climate resilient future. Strategies must work across boundaries, and they must center on the broadest interpretations of interconnectedness for a rapidly altering world. In the tradition of the Waterfront Alliance’s dedication to tackling the toughest issues and convening people for solutions, the 2024 conference will shed light on the steps we all must take to face a complex future.
