MI-ACE is MI-AWWA's premier annual conference, bringing together hundreds of drinking water professionals from across Michigan for two and a half days of education, exhibits, networking, recognition, and leadership opportunities.

Held each year the week following Labor Day, MI-ACE features technical sessions, industry exhibits, keynote presentations, awards, and countless opportunities to connect with colleagues and industry partners.

Presented in partnership with the Michigan Water Environment Association (MWEA), the Joint Expo & Operators Day is one of the Midwest's largest gatherings of water and wastewater professionals.

This collaborative event features technical education, a large exhibit hall, equipment demonstrations, and valuable networking opportunities for operators, managers, engineers, consultants, manufacturers, and industry partners.

Held every three years, the Borchardt Conference is a collaborative effort between MI-AWWA, the University of Michigan, MWEA, and EGLE.

This premier technical conference showcases the latest research, emerging technologies, and innovative practices in water and wastewater through high-level presentations from leading researchers, industry experts, and practitioners.

Each spring and fall, MI-AWWA proudly brings educational and networking opportunities to Michigan's Upper Peninsula through the Upper Peninsula Water Conferences.

Hosted at the Island Resort & Casino in Harris, these conferences provide high-quality technical education, Continuing Education Credit (CEC) opportunities, and valuable connections for water professionals serving communities throughout the U.P.

MI-AWWA is actively planning the next Source Water Conference, bringing together water professionals, regulators, researchers, and industry experts to discuss the latest developments in source water protection, groundwater and surface water management, and emerging challenges facing Michigan's drinking water resources.
