VENDOR SHOWS
At each of our schools we host a Vendor Show to give attendees an opportunity to meet with their fellow students, instructors and vendors. We invite you to display products targeted towards Collection System Operators, Distribution System Operators, Meter Technicians, and Backflow/Cross-Connection Operators. Spaces can be reserved for a fee of $250 (non-refundable) per Collection & Distribution School.

The 2026 Collection and Distribution School Exhibit Rules and Regulations printed on this page should address any questions that you may have. Please complete the application and return it with your fee. Your space cannot be guaranteed until your fee and application have been received.

For questions about this application and payment, contact admin@nconewater.org.
