CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR ABSTRACT
Please note that preference will be given to Associate/Corporate members of SDARWS for presentations
South Dakota Rural Water, in cooperation with the many small and rural systems located in western South Dakota, would like to invite manufacturers, suppliers, and engineering firms to participate in our Rural Water EXPO April 26-27, 2023 at the Best Western Ramkota Hotel & Conference Center, Rapid City, SD.

Presentations for the 1½ day event will focus on water technology, distribution and regulatory advances in the water & wastewater field. 10-foot tabletop displays will be arranged around the perimeter of the room to provide easy access to exhibit displays.
​
In order to provide reduced registration for attendees, we have set the tabletop display cost at $200/exhibitor (non-electric), $225 (electric). We will also offer exhibitors 30 minutes on the program on a first come first serve basis. We have pre-arranged our program to provide 20 presentations at 30 minutes each. Lunch will be provided.
