01 / Make the call
Is this the right room?
Emitree's assessment of audience fit. Conference access does not establish buying intent or guarantee meetings.
Consider it if
You sell water or wastewater treatment technology, distribution and metering equipment, engineering services, or utility asset-management software. The buyers are drinking water and wastewater utility engineers, operators, and public officials who control infrastructure and capital spend.
Consider another event if
You sell voluntary carbon credits, ESG reporting software, or general sustainability consulting with no direct water-utility angle. The buyers here are utility engineers and operators, and corporate sustainability teams are not in the room.
02 / Understand the audience
Who attends
The room is mostly drinking water and wastewater utility staff (engineers, operators, plant managers), consulting engineers, and public officials, spread across 20+ educational tracks and hundreds of technical sessions. Sponsors of the most recent edition include Xylem, Mueller Water Products, Kamstrup, Brita, Arup, and WSSC Water. AWWA markets ACE as one of the oldest and largest water conferences in the world and North America's largest annual drinking water conference.
How large is the event?
ACE25 (2025, Denver) drew 8,109 attendees and 433 exhibiting companies across 1,100 booths (105 international), for 11,403 total registrants including exhibitor staff, per AWWA's official ACE25 Stats & Metrics recap. No ACE27 (San Diego) attendance figure exists yet, since registration is not open.

Tickets and eligibility
ACE27 registration is not yet open, and the Call for Abstracts runs through September 10, 2026, for the June 2027 event, so no ACE27-specific rates are published. The most recent published cycle, ACE26 (Washington DC, June 21-24, 2026), listed onsite rates of $1,350 member / $1,750 non-member (USD) for full-conference access, $950/$1,250 for one-day passes, $350/$450 for exhibits-only, and $80/$110 for verified students, with advance rates lower. Pre-conference workshops cost $385-$490 for members, $470-$590 for non-members, and $80-$130 for students, and Public Officials courses run $185 member / $285 non-member per course. ACE27 rates should land in a similar range.
Rates and eligibility can change. Confirm the current price, tax treatment and included sessions with the organizer.

The practical questions
Before you decide
Is AWWA Annual Conference & Exposition (ACE27) still upcoming?
This edition is listed for June 13–16, 2027. Check the organizer's page for changes before booking.
Where can I find the AWWA Annual Conference & Exposition exhibitor list?
We have not linked a public exhibitor directory for this edition. Ask the organizer about current directories and attendee access.
Does a company listing confirm who will attend?
A sponsor, exhibitor or speaker listing establishes that published role. It does not establish which employees will attend or whether they are buying. Previous-edition examples remain historical.
