About Us
Corporate Water Connection is the first networking event & newsletter platform devoted to business, market, and finance trends in industrial and corporate water management. There are plenty of very strong technical conferences in the industrial water space. That is not our focus. Our company was formed in 2023 by Co-Founders Bridget Triepke and Peter Cook. After years of successfully running Oilfield Water Connection, the founders recognized the need for a dedicated information sharing forum tailored to business leader needs in this quickly changing sector. Corporate Water Connection’s mission is to address this need by providing thoughtful events and information for corporate water executives, investors, and managers involved with water sourcing, management, and re-use in industries like semiconductor manufacturing, data centers, food & beverage, mining, and pharmaceuticals. The format, topics, and speakers at our conferences are carefully selected to advance this mission. Beyond Corporate Water Connection’s live gatherings, our Corporate Water Weekly Newsletter is a must-read for professionals working in this sector.
