EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION MARCH 8th

Registering by March 8th entitles you to a discounted rate, and your registration materials will be ready for you upon arrival at the CWEA Registration Desk. Register early to save time onsite and to take advantage of the lower conference rates.

MEMBER-DISCOUNTED RATES

Only CWEA, WEF, or CA-NV AWWA membership qualifies for member-discounted rates and memberships will be verified. The additional cost of a non-member registration rate will be applied toward one year of CWEA membership.

RETIRED MEMBERS

Retired members are eligible for a special registration rate. CWEA Bylaws state that a retired member is any person retired from and not currently affiliated professionally or technically with the water quality field.

STUDENT REGISTRATION

Full-time students are eligible for free registration. This does not include extra fee-based meals, technical tours, and other activities which can be purchased separately. This registration type is not available online since students must provide verification of current enrollment (nine or more units per semester). Students can submit a registration form by mail, fax, or email.

SPOUSE/GUEST REGISTRATION

Spouses/guests can participate in the Icebreaker Reception, access the Expo, and receive a drink ticket for each Expo reception. Since you must be registered for the conference as an attendee to earn contact hours, spouses/guests are not eligible for contact hours.
