On Thursday, May 9, luncheon keynote speakers Mark Cowin, director of the California Department of Water Resources, and Charles Bonham, director of the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, share perspectives on the decisions ahead and policy implications for the Bay Delta Conservation Plan. Earlier in the day, a 9:30 a.m. issue forum called "BDCP: How Big is Big Enough?" looks at the BDCP from all angles and at the various conveyance options under study.

On Friday, May 10, seismic expert Lucy Jones keynotes the ACWA Hans Doe Past Presidents' Breakfast in partnership with ACWA/JPIA, discussing the impact of earthquakes on the Delta and water systems across the state.
