CWEEL: Reimagining WASH for Resilient Futures: Introducing the CWEEL Innovation Challenge
This presentation introduces the CWEEL WASH Innovation Challenge, a structured, time-bound, crowdsourced initiative designed to mobilize innovators worldwide to reimagine Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) systems for a more resilient future. In this session, presenters will walk attendees through each aspect of the challenge: pre-launch stakeholder outreach and the global dissemination strategy; idea submission, screening, and evaluation processes; finalist pitches and winner selection criteria and process. Attendees will learn how the initiative has potential to advance workforce development, grow CWEEL’s international membership by 15% in CY26, and generate thought leadership that positions AEE/CWEEL as a global leader in applied innovation beyond conferences and certifications.
When: Wednesday October 7, 2026, at 10:00 AM EST
