WWETT Show Hosts Largest Education Program to Date
The Water and Wastewater Equipment, Treatment and Transport (WWETT) Show, the world’s largest annual trade show for wastewater and environmental service professionals, took place Jan. 25-27 in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The WWETT Show gathered over 12,000 registered professionals from all 50 states and 61 countries to participate in the unmatched educational program and connect with over 500 leading suppliers, 80 of which showcased for the first time, highlighting a range of leading products in water and wastewater treatment, sanitation and services, contributing to a safer and cleaner future.
Product categories spanning cleaning, transport and service maintenance covered over 300,000 square feet of the Indiana Convention Center, a seven percent increase from 2023. The packed exhibit halls and at-capacity education sessions emphasized the importance of the annual touchpoint for the global industry as suppliers across 20 industries, leading manufacturers and experts convened to explore innovations driving growth in water and wastewater treatment.
Four-time Super Bowl Champion and Vietnam Veteran, Rocky Bleier, opened the showcase with a keynote speaking on perseverance, hard work and strong self-belief. The standing room only conversation drew attendees to celebrate the event through a unique lens of leadership and fortitude.
The wastewater event hosted more than 90 accredited education sessions on numerous tracks dedicated to the most relevant topics in the industry, ranging from technical training in plumbing, portable sanitation and safety to sewer drainage, inspection and maintenance and wastewater treatment. The General Session brought leaders from four major industry associations together for a discussion on issues affecting wastewater professionals. Continuing Education Units available in conjunction with over 40 national departments drew thousands to complete essential courses.
Show floor demonstrations equipped attendees with first-hand experience of the technical use of new products including trucks, tools and accessories, storage tanks, portable restrooms, safety equipment and more to stay on the pulse of new processes in the ever-evolving landscape of environmental regulations, safety procedures and data analysis.
