History
AWA has been organising biennial conventions since 1964 and serious exhibitions since 1992. Only 64 delegates attended the first convention but it has steadily grown to be the biggest, most influential and discussed event for the water industry! Networking and contacts are a key role of the Convention with the extensive Exhibition providing organisations the chance that they need to promote their products and services.

The sequence of dates, venues and delegate numbers (where available) are shown in the table below:


1964 Canberra (64) 1985 Melbourne (325)
1966 Melbourne (203) 1987 Adelaide
