WaterJAM is using a new registration software in 2019.  We hope you find the process to be user-friendly.  One functionality that will not be available this year is the ability to register multiple people in one transaction. If you need to register multiple attendees and would like to pay by check, please complete their registrations online and then email Kathy(attendees) or Geneva (exhibitors) for a single combined invoice.  If you need to pay by credit card, you will need to pay online per registration.  We apologize for any inconvenience.

Professional Headshot Photography
Do you need a professional photo to include with your bio? Is your current headshot looking a little dated? We have the
answer!  
The WaterJAM committee is excited to offer the services of a professional photographer to this year’s attendees. For the low cost of only $35, you can have your portrait taken right on site! You will be given a unique hyperlink to a website where you can view & download your high-resolution photos. Only 100 appointments will be scheduled, so register early!  Select the Headshot Photography option on the registration form. If you wish to have your photo taken but need to pay for it separately, you can return to the registration site and add it after your initial registration is complete. Alternatively, you can sign up at the registration desk when you arrive at WaterJAM.
 
Sewer and Water Art Gallery (SWAG) 
September 10-11, VBCC Exhibit Hall
The Sewer and Water Art Gallery is BACK! The exhibit is a “museum” of things that Virginia sanitary sewer, stormwater,
and drinking water industry professionals have encountered in the field and found to be interesting, confusing, or downright CRAZY! Items from municipalities across Virginia will be on display with the goal of providing entertainment, education, and enlightenment about some of the unique challenges faced by our industry professionals.
 
Gallery visitors will get to vote for their favorite items, and awards will be given on Wednesday afternoon to the top three exhibits based on visitor voting. So, make sure to get your vote in early! You can also try to guess what the mystery item thing is to be entered in a raffle for a chance to win an awesome prize!
 
Orientation Breakfast
Tuesday, September 10 ~ 7:30 AM - 9:00 AM, VBCC Rm 2AB
If this is your first time at WaterJAM, please join us on Tuesday morning for the Orientation Breakfast with a game show-style competition.
