National Ground Water Association's Groundwater Week 2026 Returns To Las Vegas After Record-Setting Year In New Orleans

The industry's largest event features education, exhibits, and networking with attendees from around the world.

Westerville, OH — The National Ground Water Association (NGWA) has announced that Groundwater Week 2026 will take place December 8–10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. The event returns to Las Vegas after a record-setting 2025 show in New Orleans, which drew the largest attendance and exhibit space ever recorded for a Groundwater Week held outside Las Vegas.

Groundwater Week 2026 will offer attendees an extensive lineup of educational workshops, networking events, and exhibitors from the industry's leading companies.

Groundwater Week 2026 will feature:

• Exhibit Hall: Discover the latest technologies, products, and services from the industry's top companies and organizations.
• Networking Opportunities: Connect with groundwater professionals from around the world to expand your knowledge and network.
• Keynote Speaker: Aaron Golub, who made history as the first legally blind Division I athlete to play college football at Tulane University before becoming a team captain and signing as an NFL free agent, will share his story of challenging limitations and overcoming adversity.
• Educational Workshops: Choose from workshops across eight tracks, including business management, drilling operations, and geothermal technologies, designed for contractors, scientists, and engineers alike.

Attendees can also take part in a guided tour of the Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition in Las Vegas, offering a unique opportunity to explore one of the city's most popular attractions alongside fellow groundwater professionals.

New this year, NGWA will host the Data Centers, Groundwater, and Sustainable Water Management Forum on December 7th. This one-day, in-person event brings together groundwater professionals, utilities, regulators, developers, and community stakeholders to explore the technical, operational, regulatory, and planning considerations tied to data center development and groundwater resources, including water supply, infrastructure planning, and emerging cooling technologies.

“We’re excited to bring Groundwater Week back to Las Vegas after such a strong year in New Orleans,” says Terry S. Morse, CAE, CIC, CEO of NGWA. “Groundwater Week remains the best opportunity for groundwater professionals to exchange ideas, discover the latest technologies, and build lasting relationships within the industry.”
