Author Steven Solomon to keynote WaterSmart Innovations Conference luncheon October 7

Steven Solomon, author of the best-selling book Water: The Epic Struggle for Wealth, Power and Civilization, will be the October 7 keynote luncheon speaker at the third WaterSmart Innovations Conference and Exposition in Las Vegas, Nevada.

In Water, Solomon describes a world in which access to fresh water has replaced oil as the primary cause of global conflicts that increasingly emanate from drought-ridden, overpopulated areas of the world.

Solomon also has written for The New York Times, BusinessWeek, The Economist, Forbes, and Esquire. He has been a regular commentator on NPR's Marketplace, and has appeared as a featured guest on the late Tim Russert's CNBC show, NPR's Talk of the Nation, Bloomberg TV, and on many other news shows. He has addressed the World Affairs Council, Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), and university forums. He also is the author of The Confidence Game, which warned about building dangers in the volatile global financial system.
