The Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership (VUSP) is pleased to announce that the biennial Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Symposium will be held Oct. 16 and 17 on the campus of Villanova University.

The theme for the 2024 Stormwater Symposium is Emerging Issues in Stormwater Management.

The Symposium has served as the leading convener of experts dedicated to promoting green stormwater infrastructure to combat urban flooding and protect environmental quality.

Over the course of the two-day program, attendees will learn about innovations in green stormwater infrastructure from a diverse group of professionals representing the academic, nonprofit, government and industry sectors.

The intent is to foster multidisciplinary collaboration across technical fields as well as greater inclusion in the engineering workforce, resulting in truly resilient solutions to stormwater.
