Annual Meeting Networking Events

The Annual Meeting is a unique opportunity for business leaders to engage, building upon established relationships and creating new ones.  Successful business is conducted with those with whom we have a strong and nurtured relationship with. 

In addition to the hosted events detailed below, members are encouraged to use the afternoon and evenings to continue conversations through more informal means.

For all attendees to maximize their time at the Annual Meeting, WASDA strongly discourages any meetings scheduled concurrently to any official Water and Sewer Distributors of America functions as listed on the schedule of events. The program has been designed with ample opportunities to network outside of functions.  We appreciate your cooperation.
