We use plastic every day, but where does it all go?

The MIT Water Summit is a two-day conference hosted annually by the MIT Water Club<http://mitwater.org/> to bring together leaders from across the water sector.

Registration provides access to talks from over 20 speakers from a broad range of disciplines, including academia, government, NGOs, and industry to provide diverse insights into plastics and the water environment. Breakfast and lunch are also provided with registration!

**SPECIAL OFFER: The first 200 registrants will receive a FREE copy of Opening Keynote and NY Times bestselling author Seth M. Siegel's Troubled Water<http://sethmsiegel.com/troubled-water>, compliments of Xylem Inc.**
