A Must-Attend Event of 2025
The Permian Basin is no stranger to the challenges and opportunities that define our modern energy landscape. At the heart of these conversations is water—a resource as critical to our industry’s success as the oil and gas we extract. Its management defines not only our industry’s present, but also its future. That’s why the upcoming Water in Energy Conference, hosted by The University of Texas Permian Basin (UTPB) from March 4-6, 2025, is such a pivotal event for our region.
Taking place at the Bush Convention Center in downtown Midland, this is more than just another industry gathering. It’s a powerful platform for collaboration, innovation and action. Over three days, attendees will engage with an impressive line-up of speakers, explore cutting-edge technologies, and participate in discussions that merge engineering, finance, business strategy and policy. It’s an opportunity to challenge conventional thinking and craft sustainable solutions for the water challenges we face.
A Transformative Year for the Conference
This year’s event promises to be the best yet, with exciting new additions that set it apart. For the first time, the conference will introduce industry awards to honor outstanding contributions by companies, individuals, and teams to water innovation and sustainability in the energy sector. Coupled with unparalleled networking opportunities and a blowout live music and entertainment event, this year’s programming balances professional growth with community celebration, reflecting what it means to truly power the Permian.
Why UTPB’s Work Matters
For companies like Infinity Water Solutions, supporting this great university is a commitment to
advancing the entire region. UTPB is more than an educational institution—it’s a driver of
innovation and economic progress. Through initiatives like the Water in Energy Conference, the
university bridges the gap between academia and industry, empowering professionals and
students alike to tackle real-world challenges.
As this year’s Outreach Chair and a longtime UTPB board member with a passion for
sustainable water management, I find profound meaning in both advocating for and contributing
to this mission. Events like this exemplify the university’s vision: fostering collaboration, driving
innovation, and creating opportunities that benefit both industry and community.
