The WEFTEC, known as the "Water Environment Federation's Technical Exhibition and Conference", is often regarded as the largest and most significant trade fair and conference for water quality in America. Organized by the Water Environment Federation and held biennially, it serves as a central forum to discover the latest advancements in the water industry.
The event is hosted at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, one of the most prestigious venues worldwide. Here, experts, professionals, and other enthusiasts, especially from the fields of drinking water, water reuse, and recovery, as well as wastewater treatment, convene.
Central to WEFTEC are the Drinking Water Pavilion, focusing on water reuse and drinking water treatment, the Drone Pavilion, which deals with inspections and data collection, and the Innovation Pavilion, showcasing pioneering products and start-ups. Additionally, the Smart Water and Cybersecurity Pavilion and the Rainwater Pavilion are introduced, each displaying the latest technologies and solutions in their domains (products that safeguard networks, devices, and data for critical infrastructure applications, control devices, and automation; green rainwater infrastructure, rainwater control measures, etc.). Technologies focusing on the treatment and disposal of reused water, whether rainwater or wastewater, are also highlighted.
A particular standout of WEFTEC is the awards for innovative products and the "Operations Challenge", a rigorous skill competition for water resource recovery facility staff. The event attracts numerous exhibitors and visitors, always in search of the most recent trends and best practices in the water sector.
The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans isn't just a leading hub for exhibitions and conferences but is also easily accessible, offering its guests top-notch infrastructure. As one of the largest conference centers in the world, it provides the perfect setting for events of this magnitude.
The WEFTEC takes place biennially, and therefore for the 98th time previsibly in October 2026 in New Orleans.
