Description

The future of the Colorado River has entered a new chapter, and Arizona now faces important decisions about what comes next.

Following years of negotiations and increasing pressure on the Colorado River system, the federal government has finalized new operating guidelines for 2027 and 2028, including significant reductions to Arizona's Colorado River supply.

Join the Greater Phoenix Chamber for a timely follow-up to our June Arizona's Water Future conversation as water leaders unpack what the new federal framework means for Arizona and where we go from here.

Our panel will explore how the reductions could affect Arizona's communities, businesses and economy; how the state is preparing for a future with less Colorado River water; and the negotiations and investments that will shape Arizona's water security beyond 2028.

Whether you joined us in June or are entering the conversation for the first time, you'll leave with a clearer understanding of what has changed, what hasn't, and what Arizona's next steps mean for our shared water future.

The AZ in Focus community conversation series convenes community leaders for an intimate opportunity to connect with high-level Valley business and public policy professionals to learn about and discuss insider information, and smart, sustainable solutions to critical economic and policy issues in our state.
