Watch the 2024 Opening General Session
WEFTEC 2024’s Opening General Session brought together voices from diverse cultures, communities, and backgrounds—each with a unique connection to water. Through dynamic storytelling, music, and cultural narratives, we will explored how water tied us to the land, to each other, and to the future. From indigenous wisdom to modern leadership, our speakers will guided us in understanding the transformative power of water in shaping both our past and the paths we created ahead.
