This page covers ten events running from June through early October, selected because they span different segments of the trade, from contractor association meetings to large utility and specification shows. AWWA ACE in Washington, DC runs June 21 through 24 and draws water and distribution professionals at scale. InstallerSHOW in Birmingham, UK the same week is worth flagging for anyone tracking international market activity or product launches across the Atlantic. For North American contractors and distributors, the ASA Northeast and Central Summits in late June offer tighter, region-specific programming that tends to be more actionable for pipeline development than larger expos. If you're planning summer travel or mapping Q3 business development, this list gives you the dates, locations, and context to prioritize which events are actually worth the trip.
