Networking Opportunities

Take advantage of powerful opportunities to connect with others in the industry

The WQA Convention & Exposition brings together the people who matter – dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, consultants, and others who want to meet people just like you. This is your chance to share your story and learn from those whose experience and expertise will prove invaluable to your success.

Be a catalyst as you connect and learn from the best in the industry

Choose from more than 30 hours of education sessions and an exhibit floor filled with the latest technology as you rub shoulders with the best minds in the water treatment industry. Meet new friends as you renew old acquaintances.

Connect through the WQA Convention App

The WQA Convention app is a great way to connect with others at the Convention! Download it by scanning the QR code at right or by visiting the Apple Store or Google Play.

In the app, click on the “2024 Event” button, then log in using the same email address you used to register for Convention and your badge number (available on your registration confirmation email).

Here’s where the networking fun starts! Make your contact information visible to others so that your name, company name, email address and phone number are shared with people most interested in getting to know you. During the Convention, you’ll be able to message people with questions or to arrange to meet.

You can access the Expo floor map from the app at any time. Look at the list of exhibitors and click on the star next to the exhibitor’s name and their booth will be highlighted in gold on your Expo map. You can use this feature to highlight booths you don’t want to miss, those you want to revisit on the second day, or the companies you want to contact after the Expo.

Also, be sure you opt in to receive notifications from WQA on the app so you always know what’s going on and where to meet people.
