MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT
Welcome to the American Water Works
Association’s Annual Conference and Exposition
here in Denver!
As water professionals, we know that innovation
and new technologies help to continuously
improve service to our communities. At our
conference, you will learn about innovative ideas
and emerging technologies that benefit the water
industry today, which are reflected in the 100+
professional sessions delivered by more than 500
expert presenters. The exposition showcases
more than 470 exhibitors, and we are excited
to welcome the Innovation Lounge again to the
exhibit floor. Stop by to engage with thought-leaders and influencers who are
exploring tomorrow’s emerging technologies and innovations.
I’d like to offer a special welcome to our international guests, veterans and young
professionals. I believe you will find the conference a rewarding experience! ACE19
offers a plethora of opportunities and events to network with people in all aspects
of the water industry. We all become better water professionals when we learn from
each other and value each other’s unique perspectives.
I encourage you to take an in-depth look through this program to find the sessions
and events that inspire you. And, take time to walk the exhibit floor, say hi to friends
and colleagues, and make new friends along the way.
Welcome to Denver and to AWWA’s ACE19!
David Rager
