This is an opportunity to connect directly with those responsible for the planning, design, implementation and operation of solutions which give rise to sharing knowledge to help solve similar problems throughout the world.

The Dutch have dealt with water-related issues and challenges for over 1,000 years and have accumulated an extensive record of successful ways in which to deal with difficult and, at times, seemingly impossible circumstances.  

Begun in 2007, with over 130 alumni, USNC Pro provides opportunities for delegates to engage Dutch planning, engineering, government and business experts in some of the most dynamic places where innovation is the word of the day. This opportunity to connect directly with those responsible for the planning, design, implementation and operation of those solutions gives rise to sharing knowledge to help solve similar problems throughout the world.  We invite you to be part of the solution.
