• Overall attendance dipped but Midwest setting attracted large numbers
Lisle, Illinois USA — Despite an overall decline in attendance from 2008, WQA Aquatech USA
last month held its own during the recession and brought in large numbers of attendees from the
Midwest, eastern US, and Europe, final tallies show.
Attendance fell by 22 percent from last year, less than many trade shows this year, said Peter
Censky, executive director of WQA. Many shows have seen drops of more than 60 percent, he
said. The annual conference and trade show was held in Chicago (Rosemont), Illinois, in mid-
March. Last year, the event was held in Las Vegas, NV.
“Many people drove in from around the Midwest,” Censky said. “We saw that, nationally, manykey decision makers also came, even from those regions where total attendance may have fallen
off.”
Censky said that despite economic challenges, those in the industry realized the value of
keeping abreast of new products and educational opportunities and the chance to do significant
networking in one setting.
Attendance by region:
Chicago 2006
From Midwestern US 1,493
From Eastern US 87
From Europe 17
Chicago 2009
From Midwestern US - 1,728
From Eastern US - 453
From Europe - 135
