Join Us at ACE!

AWWA’s Annual Conference and Exposition is one of the largest gatherings of water community professionals in the world. More than 50 countries are represented at ACE each year by companies, academics, and individuals working in water. ACE is the top opportunity to network with experts in your field from around the globe.

At AWWA, we pride ourselves on our support for the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals and the I.M.P.A.C.T. initiative to build a better world for people everywhere by 2030. At ACE, you will learn best practices, attend a variety of curated events, and discover new technologies being pioneered in water to build a better future for everyone.

Though AWWA is headquartered in North America, our footprint is everywhere there is water. Our international reach hopes to support global water solutions through networking, events, sessions, and more at ACE.

“This was our first time participating in a water treatment exhibition in the USA, and we were able to learn what kind of products are in demand in the US market. We were able to meet with potential suppliers who could be involved in our business, exchange greetings, and explain the overview of our business.”
