Registration Now Open For AWWA's Inaugural Water Infrastructure Conference & Exposition

Conference to be held Oct. 26 - 29 in Atlanta

The American Water Works Association has announced that registration is now open for its first Water Infrastructure Conference & Exposition to take place in Atlanta Oct. 26 - 29, 2014.

The conference and exposition will focus on water and wastewater infrastructure rehabilitation or replacement needs. It will also concentrate on factors that contribute to increasing demands on water and wastewater utilities such as shifting population patterns and man-made and natural threats.

Conference topics will be separated into four relevant tracks for employees of utilities and consulting firms to concentrate on essential water infrastructure planning, reinvestment strategies, critical infrastructure protection through emergency preparedness planning and the application of heightened physical security and cybersecurity measures.

Conference attendees will also have the opportunity to register for three Sunday workshops covering asset management and SCADA and distribution systems. A complimentary workshop on disaster management will also be presented by FEMA and TEEX.

Full-conference attendee registration includes two lunches, one networking reception, technical sessions and access to the exhibit hall with education sessions on the show floor. To learn more and to register for this event, visit the conference home page.

Accredited members of the media may attend the Water Infrastructure Conference & Exposition at no charge. However, they are required to register with AWWA Public Affairs.
