WaterJAM 2026

About

WaterJAM is the Joint Annual Meeting of the Virginia Water Environment Association and the Virginia Section of the American Waterworks Association.  WaterJAM provides numerous technical growth opportunities (including continuing education credits) covering the latest industry trends as well as a variety of social endeavors for all attendees. In addition, attendees can sign up to attend workshops, service projects, and facility tours.
The Exhibit Hall features over 330 exhibit booths and hands-on demonstration trailers showcasing the latest in water and wastewater technology, equipment and services. Representatives will be on hand to show you the newest products and services available and to provide the latest information to keep you up to date on the new advancements in technology.

WaterJAM kicks off with preconference workshops and events on Monday, September 14 with the conference commencing on Tuesday, September 15.

The 2026 WaterJAM Committee, along with the Sustainable Utilities Committee, is proud to announce that we are continuing our “Going Green” initiative and are seeking to be the greenest WaterJAM conference to date! Be on the lookout for the usual sustainable “green” initiatives such as multiple recycling and composting stations, locally sourced menu options, and local vendor products. With the continued impacts of excess waste in our landfills, in our communities, and along our waterways, we will be promoting plastic reduction and the conference center’s composting initiative this year.
