Conference cancellation notice:

As the coronavirus pandemic unfolds, AWWA has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Sustainable Water Management Conference in Minneapolis.

If you have registered for the conference, please take the following actions as soon as possible:

Contact your airline to cancel your flight. Many airlines are offering concessions in light of travel concerns associated with COVID-19.
If you made your hotel reservation through AWWA Housing (Par Avion), we will automatically cancel your hotel room and you will receive a cancellation confirmation from Par Avion by March 16th. If you have questions about this, you may contact Par Avion directly at 866.364.9515.
If you made hotel reservations with the hotel directly or through a third-party site (ex. Expedia or Travelocity), you will need to cancel the reservation through the same method.

Regarding your conference registration, we are happy to transfer your full amount paid as a credit towards a future AWWA conference or training (webinar, eLearning, seminar, etc.) of your choice (excluding Membrane Conference). This does include ACE20 in Orlando, June 14-17 or the 2021 Sustainable Water Mgmt. Conference, March 7-10 in Charlotte, NC.

We understand obtaining CEU’s is extremely important and want to ensure you have opportunities to achieve your goal. We invite you to visit AWWA's future event schedule, eLearning courses and webinar opportunities. In addition, we are exploring options for electronic delivery of presentations from the cancelled Sustainable Water Management Conference. We will be issuing information as soon as we have it to share.

Please email requests to our customer service team and they will assist and transfer your full amount paid as a credit or refund. Email to service@awwa.org or fax requests to 303.347.0804.
