2026 Forum

For over thirty years, the Arkansas River Basin Water Forum has been bringing together water professionals, policymakers, and community members. This year continued the tradition as attendees gathered at the Salida SteamPlant under the theme Working Towards Resiliency. Keynote speakers, Becky Mitchell and Jason Ullmann, helped usher in two days of thoughtful discussions, reinforcing the Forum’s role as an important space for learning and collaboration.

With over 200 attendees and a multi-day schedule, participants joined sessions, panels, and tours that explored challenges and innovations in the Arkansas River Basin. We thank all of our attendees, especially our planning committee.
