Dear Exhibitor

29th Annual AOWA Trade Show
ALABAMA ONSITE WASTEWATER ASSOCIATION
Dear Exhib itor,
wanted to update you on AOWA’s 2016
schedule and thank all of you who have
supported our Trade Show throughout the
years. Without your support we couldn’t have a
Trade Show and I really appreciate the support
that you have given to AOWA, and to me
personally.
Allen, Kristie and I will focus on making AOWA’s
Trade Show in Livingston bigger and better.
Last years attendance was about 220. This year
the Alabama Department of Public Health is
NOT sponsoring an Auburn Conference as they
did last year. We expect to get those Engineers,
Licensees and Heath Department
Environmentalist at our show in Livingston this
year. We will incorporate many of the
advanced treatment classes so that our 2016
Show will be a combination of the Auburn
Conference and AOWA Trade Show. Our
Board of Directors is committed to increase the
number of exhibitors, engineers, and licensees.
The economy and through the roof gas prices directly affected our attendance last year. The
improving economy and lower gas prices should afford more licensees the opportunity to attend
our Trade Show. With fewer Continuing Education Classes we will increase our attendance of
licensees to give our exhibitors increased value.
Please consider being a Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze sponsor. We feature our sponsors in
our magazine both before and after the show. In addition, sponsors get the better booth
locations and ALL EXHIBITORS WILL BE OUR GUEST AT A GOOD OL’ ALABAMA FISH FRY
THURSDAY EVENING!!!!!
We can always improve our Trade Show and I solicit your input on how we can make the show
better for YOU! If you have any thoughts please feel free to e-mail me (droll@aowa.org) or call
me. Thanks again and see you in Pelham.
Get your Continuing Ed Classes!
80/20 Reverse Raffle and Door Prizes!!

The AOWA Trade Show is the
ideal venue for achieving
marketing and advertising
goals through participation as
an Exhibitor and/or a Sponsor
Sincerely,
David F. Roll
Executive Director
For a minimum investment,
the AOWA Trade Show gives
your company two days of
face-to-face contact with hundreds of your best prospects—
septic tank pumpers, installers,
and manufacturers, and
portable toilet companies.
The AOWA Trade Show serves as a marketplace for onsite wastewater industry companies and provides an opportunity to showcase the industry’s equipment, systems, components, tools, and services. Join us in March and give
your company the exposure it needs to increase leads and sales!!!
