In March 2024, in honor of World Water Day, LEBEC and McDermott Will & Emery co-hosted an intimate fireside chat with Gary White, Co-Founder and CEO of Water.org and WaterEquity. The conversation explored the critical intersection of water and innovative finance.

White shared insights from his lifelong journey of scaling solutions to the global water crisis, offering perspectives on what’s working, what’s needed, and how we can drive greater impact at scale. The evening concluded with a networking reception, bringing together practitioners, funders, and changemakers committed to advancing solutions at the nexus of water and innovative finance.
