WQA has postponed its 2021 Convention & Exposition until July 28-30 in hope of increasing the likelihood of hosting a successful in-person event. The event is still set for the Las Vegas Convention Center, in the same space originally set aside for WQA to gather in late April.
A number of factors played into the WQA Board of Governors’ decision, including the possibility that a vaccine for COVID-19 will be widely available this spring. The Las Vegas Convention Center, the convention hotels and other major event vendors could accommodate the July dates. Registration had not yet opened for attendees.
More than 3,000 drinking water industry representatives gather each spring for the Convention, which for nearly 50 years has been the industry’s signature event. The 2021 convention will include a trade show July 29 & 30, plus dozens of education sessions, many of them offering Continued Professional Development credit toward recertification, and an Opening General Session with keynote speaker Simon T. Bailey.
