The early registration deadline is Friday, April 21, for the world’s premier water conference—the American Water Works Association’s (AWWA) 2023 Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE23)—which takes place June 11–14 in Toronto at Exhibition Place Toronto, including the Enercare Centre and Beanfield Centres.

Those who register early will save up to $200. Additionally, AWWA is offering a special Annual Conference & Exposition registration rate for its utility members of six employee registrations for the price of five. This discount applies to full-conference registration rates for utilities, field operators and small utilities.

Another offer available through April 21 is a free Exhibits-only registration pass for operators and other member utility employees with access to more than 450 exhibitors, the Innovation Hub, the AWWA Pavilion, exciting competitions, and more. A full listing of ACE23 registrations is available.

This year’s theme “ACE23: The Future of Water is 2050,” aligns with AWWA’s Water 2050 initiative seeking to establish a long-term vision for the future of water. This collaborative exploration is charting a course for a successful and sustainable water sector.

The professional program features 21 tracks with sessions addressing asset management, innovation and technology, managing lead in distribution systems, and water quality challenges. An accompanying virtual track will include the opening general session, fireside address, and more than 30 conference sessions.

Exhibit hall networking sessions include a Career Center Job & Education Fair, young professionals and student events, and competitions such as the People’s Choice and “Best of the Best” Taste Tests, Pipe Tapping, Meter Madness, and Hydrant Hysteria.

ACE23 also offers tours of various water facilities in and near Toronto, including F.J. Horgan Water Treatment Plant, John Street Pumping Station and Enwave Deep Lake Water Cooling Plant, High Level Pumping Station, R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant, and Arthur P. Kennedy Water Treatment Plant.
