Conference Details

Dear NEWWA Spring Joint Regional Conference & Exhibition Attendee (ARE YOU AN EXHIBITOR? CLICK HERE):

The 2020 Spring Joint Regional Conference & Exhibition has been rescheduled to June 22-23, 2020. 

First and foremost, NEWWA would like to thank you for your continued support of the association during these unprecedented times. 

Exhibitor and attendee registration fees already received will be transferred to the new dates, unless NEWWA is otherwise notified of cancellations or conflicts. NEWWA’s standard cancellation fee will apply. If you cannot attend the conference in June you must contact NEWWA (KTodesco@newwa.org) in writing by June 17, 2020, to request a refund or credit minus a $30 administrative fee. This charge is non-refundable and non-transferable. No refunds will be given after June 17, 2020. 

Any conference cancellations received March 1, 2020 – March 16, 2020 have not been processed. Therefore, original registrations and payments will be transferred to the new dates, as stated above.

Hotel Reservations: Any and all arrangements with third parties (flights, hotels, etc.) will need to be cancelled/rescheduled on an individual basis. NEWWA is not responsible for these cancellations.

ADDITIONAL CONFERENCE FEATURES:
Career Fair: All career fair tabletop registrations will be transferred to the new conference date. 
Committee Meetings: No meetings will be conducted at the Worcester DCU Center on April 1 or 2, 2020. Committee chairs, please contact Mary Quigley MQuigely@newwa.org if you would still like to hold your committee meeting via conference call. In addition, committee meeting times will be available on June 22 and 23. Please contact Mary to schedule. 
Hydrant Hysteria Competition: Due to the national competition being held June 16-17, 2020, in Orlando, NEWWA’s competition will be held on an earlier date, at an alternate location(s), to determine which team will be sent to ACE – June 2020.
Young Professional breakfast: The breakfast will now be held on Monday, June 22, 2020.
Student Poster Session: We are currently working with the Student Activities Committee and information will be posted as soon as it is available.
