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