WEFTEC is a Growing, Global Exhibition
WEF’s annual scientific and technical exhibits meeting, WEFTEC®, has earned the distinction of being the world’s biggest water and wastewater annual gathering in the world. Last year in San Diego, CA, attendance for WEFTEC.07 reached 19,929, with over 900 exhibitors and 300+ educational programs/seminars. WEFTEC.07 attendees came from some 72 countries, representing water and sanitation professionals from every corner of the globe.
This year, WEFTEC.08 will take place at the McCormick Place Convention Center, Chicago, IL, October 18-22, 2008. More than 90 technical sessions and 25 conference workshops and seminars are in place for WEFTEC.08, making it one of the most comprehensively technical and educational events for today’s water professionals. From research to “back to basics” sessions presented by some of the world’s leading experts, you’ll find it at WEFTEC.
International Trade Delegations
WEF’s partnerships with independent trade delegation organizers consistently bring strong international and trade delegation attendance to WEFTEC. WEF continues to build on these relationships and to work with embassies and consulates to promote international and domestic business contacts between attendees, exhibitors, and trade delegates at WEFTEC.
For more information, or to register as a trade delegation, contact WEF Exhibitions at 1-703-684-2400 x7740 or by email at international@wef.org.
WEFTEC Global Center
Far more than a registration area for International Attendees, the Global Center at WEFTEC is full of resources committed to matching international trade delegates and exhibitors with an eye on the worldwide market.
Make important contacts and gain additional knowledge by interacting with the leading manufacturers and representatives in the water and wastewater profession in the Global Center. The Trade Delegate Program provides international and domestic firms the contacts they need, and the Global Center together provides the place to make them.
