AWWA has been made aware of several "unofficial" companies contacting our exhibitors and sponsors by phone and email, to solicit business, attendee lists, hotel rooms, etc. If you are contacted by a company that doesn't seem legitimate, please forward the email to us with details so we are able to follow up. AWWA does not provide (or sell) our exhibitor lists or attendee lists to companies other than our official partners.

Yes. We will send information by email to the main exhibit contact for each company regarding an appointment for ACE21 booth assignment. The booth selection process will be administered remotely and will proceed according to exhibitor priority point order.

Current priority points will carry over for the ACE21 booth selection process. The companies that participated in the ACE20 Sneak Peek preplanning webinar on Feb. 20, 2020, will earn the point for participation.

AWWA has reached out to our official service providers and they are aware we are cancelling the event. ACE20 exhibitors should work directly with their contracted vendors to resolve any questions related to refunds and contracted services. Contact details for official partners can be found in the Exhibitorzone.

If you would like to transfer your purchase to ACE21, please email exhibitormail@awwa.org by Wednesday, April 22, 2020. If we have not heard from you at that time, your table purchase will automatically be refunded.
