About This Show
AI-drafted summaryTexas Water is the joint annual conference and exhibition of the Texas Section of the American Water Works Association (TAWWA) and the Water Environment Association of Texas (WEAT). Widely recognized as the Largest Regional Water Conference in the U.S., it brings together the state's water and wastewater community for several days of technical sessions, competitions, exhibits, and networking. The 2027 edition returns to Houston's George R. Brown Convention Center, March 30 through April 2, 2027.
The conference caters to professionals across the water and wastewater industry, including water quality engineers, treatment plant operators and technicians, scientists, government and regulatory personnel, manufacturers and their agents, academics, and others committed to protecting public health and the environment. Attendees come from utilities, engineering firms, consultancies, and public agencies across Texas and beyond.

The exhibit hall consistently sells out, underscoring the event's importance as a marketplace for the Texas water sector.
