AWWA's Annual Conference & Exposition (AWWA ACE) is the water industry's largest and most influential conference in North America. American Water Works Association (AWWA) brings together utility leaders, engineers, regulators and solution providers to explore the pressing challenges and exciting opportunities ahead for the water community. For Black & Veatch, AWWA ACE has long been a can't-miss conference, among our most important weeks of the year. A place where water infrastructure conversations turn into sustainable and resilient water resources and water management advances. At this year's conference in Washington, D.C., our water professionals will be sharing insights from their latest projects and research, presenting alongside clients and peers, and connecting with the people shaping the future of water infrastructure.
Our team isn't just presenting at ACE — we're publishing the research behind the conversations. Explore the insights shaping how water utilities plan, invest and deliver.
