Texas Water Association Fall Conference 2026

The conference was held at San Antonio Marriott Riverwalk.

The identified audience was Texas water utility professionals.

It was most useful for Texas water utility staff who wanted regulatory and policy context, since the keynotes were scheduled to come from a state representative, a Public Utility Commission of Texas commissioner and a Texas Water Development Board director. The mix of committee meetings, a risk management seminar, speed networking and a golf tournament made it a relationship-building state association meeting, so people seeking deep technical training or a national-scale exhibit hall would have gotten less from it.

Attendees at state water utility association conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts or polos, with a jacket for keynote sessions and receptions. Golf attire was the norm for the tournament on Wednesday, and the volunteer project or educational tour called for closed-toe shoes.
