On October 8, 2015, more than 40 San Diego-based sustainability engineers and managers attended the Industrial Water Efficiency Workshop, sponsored by CP Kelco. The event provided San Diego’s industrial water users a forum to share best management practices, policies and “blue sky” solutions for water conservation, in the face of California’s historic drought. 

One year later, the Water Workshop was lauded by the Industrial Environmental Association (IEA) as it presented CP Kelco with its prestigious Environmental Excellence Award for the company’s numerous water-saving initiatives and strategies.

As CP Kelco’s communications partner, the Intesa team handled all aspects of event planning and community relations for the event, including:

• Agenda development
• Speaker outreach and planning
• Invitation design and RSVP management
• Event signage and collateral
• Event satisfaction survey

The Water Workshop was an award-winning, measurable success. Participants received updates from the City of San Diego Mayor’s Office and the San Diego County Water Authority, as well as presentations from their peers on best practices to handling drought-related challenges. This event served as a relevant, timely and useful workshop for San Diego companies that are committed to responsible water practices.
