Attending the 2026 Convention
Do I have to be a member of WQA to attend the conference and exposition?
You can attend the WQA Convention & Exposition without being a member of the Water Quality Association (WQA). However, WQA members pay a reduced registration fee, and new member companies can receive one free convention registration in their first year of membership. For WQA membership information, visit wqa.org/membership .
I am not a resident of the United States; can I attend the show?
International visitors are welcome.
Letters of Invitation are no longer required to obtain a U.S. Visitor Visa, and therefore WQA does not issue them. For information on the visa process and required documentation, visit: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/tourism-visit/visitor.html#documentation .
