2026 VUSP STORMWATER SYMPOSIUM
More than 350 engineers, researchers, planners and other water-resources professionals will gather on Villanova’s campus Oct. 14 and 15 for the 2026 Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Symposium. Hosted by the Villanova Urban Stormwater Partnership (VUSP), the biennial symposium aims to promote green stormwater infrastructure to combat urban flooding and protect environmental quality.
This year’s symposium, which had a theme of “Propelling Solutions,” includes keynote presentations, technical sessions and moderated panel discussions, as well as almost 50 abstracts from the stormwater community, research updates from VUSP researchers and booths from vendors.
Part of the Villanova Center for Resilient Water Systems, VUSP operates with a mission to advance the evolving field of sustainable stormwater management and foster the development of public and private partnerships through research. The next Stormwater Symposium, VUSP’s 14th, will be held in fall 2028.
