The WWA will host it’s 42nd Annual Symposium & Trade Show, October 4-7, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S.A. The WWA Show continues to be the water leisure industry’s most popular market place for the waterpark industry, as it offers the following opportunities for professional growth and development.

Education Program: The WWA’s educational program is supported by the world’s largest gathering of waterpark experts with real-world experience who present information in all-day workshops and hour-long breakout sessions. Whether you’re a waterpark in the public sector, affiliated with a hotel/resort, part of a corporate chain, privately owned or international, you will find that this program covers topics that will help you be a safer, more effective and more efficient operator. Session proposals to be a speaker at the 2022 WWA Show are being accepted through March 15, 2022. Visit WWAShow.org/callforspeakers to learn more.

Trade Show Floor: The trade show floor at the WWA Show is filled with the products and services that waterparks owners, operators and developers use on a daily basis. Our trade show represents the greatest number of waterpark exhibitors anywhere and each of them is ready and able to answer your questions and share solutions with you that can build your business today and into the future.

Networking Opportunities: Networking at the WWA Show is one of its key benefits. The water leisure industry is a tight-knit community filled with people who are always looking to expand their knowledge by having one-to-one conversations with their fellow industry professionals. WWA Networking events are intimate, fun, lively and a must-do at each WWA Show.

As part of its commitment to water safety initiatives, the WWA launched the World’s Largest Swimming Lesson event in 2010 to build awareness about the fundamental importance of teaching children to swim to prevent drowning. Each year, WLSL events provide more than 20,000 man hours of water safety training in a single day. Since its inception, more than 332,000 children and adults have participated in WLSL lessons. The 13th Annual World’s Largest Swimming Lesson™ will take place on Thursday, June 23rd. Host Locations may choose their own start time on the 23rd. This global event will celebrate its 13th year of sharing the message Swimming Lesson Save Lives™ with millions of kids and adults.
