 Construction is well under way on the WQA Pavilion (right), where WQA members will exhibit together at the Aquatech China trade show in Shanghai this week.
Putting WQA members in one area gives us a prime space, extra visibility and the opportunity to work together on making the trade show a smoother experience for all. The show is billed as Asia’s largest event for water technology.
WQA will host pavilions at Aquatech Mexico, Sept. 4-6, 2018, in Mexico City and at Aquatech Amsterdam on November 5-8, 2019. If you're interested in exhibiting in the WQA Pavilion at either show, contact Kelley Thompson at 630-929-2525 or kthompson@wqa.org.
