Orbital rates this event Platinum.
AWWA ACE earns a Platinum rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the construction industry. One of the top-rated events in this space — highly recommended for companies looking to grow their presence.
AWWA ACE 2026 is the American Water Works Association's annual conference and exposition, drawing more than 10,000 water industry professionals to Washington, DC from June 21 through June 24. The event centers on technical training and professional certification, with programming built around water system operations, infrastructure, and regulatory compliance. Sessions run across multiple tracks, covering everything from treatment technology to workforce development, and the expo floor brings together suppliers and utilities under one roof. At this scale, it functions as a working event more than a networking one. Professionals come to log continuing education hours, pursue certification credits, and stay current on standards that affect day-to-day operations. It makes the most sense for water utility operators, engineers, and compliance managers who need structured training and want direct access to product vendors in the water sector.
