About the Summit
Wastewater surveillance has emerged as a powerful tool for protecting public health from detecting early signs of COVID-19 to informing broader health interventions. Now, it's time to look beyond the pandemic.
The 2025 Wastewater Surveillance Summit, hosted by Syracuse University and the New York State Department of Health, brings together public health professionals, utility operators, policymakers, researchers, and community leaders to explore the next chapter of this growing field. Together, we’ll examine novel advances, share real-world applications, and foster cross-sector collaboration to strengthen public health through wastewater data.
This year’s conference will be offered in a hybrid format, with both in-person and virtual attendance options available.
Join us as we dive into the pipelines and uncover what’s next for wastewater surveillance.
