This year's registration rates have been reduced due to the virtual conference format: $45 for WEF and AWWA members and $95 for non-members.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be tracked through the Virtual Conference website and attendees will be able to download their certificates.
Although this event will be much different from previous years, we are committed to continuing the tradition of bringing together the water and wastewater community. We hope you'll join us at the conference!

Photo Contest
We are excited to announce the Photo Contest categories this year:
The Beauty of Water - Water can give life and create some of the most wondrous scenery. It is soft, elegant and cleansing. Photos may show simple delights that water can bring to people or breathtaking views it can be apart of.
The Fury of Water - Water can be terrible, especially if not treated kindly. It can be a fast wave of destruction, or a slow, encroaching force. Sharp, powerful and awesome. Photos may show destruction brought about, or a slow decay caused by water.
Qualified photo entries will be displayed along with the photo descriptions provided on the entry form by the photographer. The description should provide the photographer’s perspective on how the photo represents the theme of the category.
