The American Water Works Association is planning its annual ACE18 conference and exhibition June 12-14 in Las Vegas. It aims to bring together the best and brightest minds in the industry, as more than 900 expert presenters are set to explore more than 21 topic areas to exchange ideas about water.

There will be more than 450 exhibiting companies — all in one location — specializing in engineering, manufacturing, membrane filtration systems, laboratory equipment, security, and wastewater products and services.

The conference aims to make ideas come to life by inspiring and connecting the water industry with innovative solutions and new insights.

Water operators will discover new techniques and trends in water treatment technologies through three programming days, all while networking with established industry leaders. Operators also can earn continuing education credits at ACE18.

ACE18 offers discounted operator and small utilities full-conference registration. The special pricing will be available until April 25, 2018.

“ACE17 was a terrific opportunity for an operator,” says Aaron Benko of Denver Water. “I learned about so many technical aspects, from filtration to algal blooms to corrosion control. Every minute there was someone from the water industry ready to trade operational tips, different work aspects, material reviews or just to chat with. It was by far one of the most fun conferences.”

The American Water Works Association is an international, nonprofit, scientific and educational society dedicated to providing total water solutions ensuring the effective management of water. Founded in 1881, the association is the largest organization of water supply professionals in the world. For more information: www.awwa.org
