Greetings Vendors!
The Central States Water Environment Association (CSWEA) will be holding its 88th
Annual Meeting at the Drury Lane in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois on May 18th through the
20th, 2015. CSWEA is comprised of water pollution control professionals including facility
operators and managers, consulting engineers, regulators and educators from Illinois,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Drury Lane is an excellent venue and we have organized an
exceptional technical program to accompany our exhibits. The CSWEA Annual Meeting
provides a great opportunity for your organization to market your products and/or services
to decision makers involved in all facets of the water pollution control field.
Reservations are now being accepted for vendor exhibition. This year, in order to
reduce the booth price ($100 less than last year), we are only including one pass
for each exhibitor. If you plan on having more than one person at your booth, please
purchase extra passes. If you register by February 13, 2015, you will be assured of
a listing in Central States Water magazine, showing the location of your booth on the
exhibition floor. Your name will be listed on the sponsors’ page in the magazine. There will
also be sponsor poster boards placed at key locations during the conference. Please note
the registration deadline to have your company listed in the Central States Water
magazine.
The exhibits will be open two days: Tuesday, May 19 (full-day), and Wednesday, May
20 (half-day). The conference is being arranged to provide longer breaks during the
technical sessions with refreshments served only in the exhibit hall. This year we have
a new incentive pricing structure that will bring more utility members and new
attendees to the conference (for more details, see the Winter 2014 Central States
Water magazine issue).
There are also other sponsorship options for your company. There will be sponsors for the
golf outing, 5K walk/run, various event sponsorship (meet and greet, Tuesday Social etc.) and
conference sponsorship. These opportunities are also available online. We want to thank you
in advance for exhibiting and look forward to seeing you at the conference. Please do not
hesitate to contact Cathy Piazza, Dean Wiebenga or Rich Hussey as listed below.
Sincerely,
Dean M. Wiebenga or Cathy Piazza
