There are approximately 1000 members of the WWA. The members fall in one of two categories:
Park Members or Supplier Members. Park Members are members who own, operate or manage water-leisure
facilities. Park Members can also be prospective park developers who plan to build
and/or operate a waterpark in the future. Supplier Members are members who supply products
or services to waterpark facilities or developers. The Park Member category has two price
points for membership dues: $355 annually for facilities with an annual attendance of below
250,000, as well as prospective park developers; and $565 annually for facilities with an
annual attendance of 250,000 or more. The Supplier Membership category is $570 annually.
The WWA is host to an annual symposium & trade show, which takes place in a different city
in the US each year. The Trade Show features 300+ exhibit booths (more waterpark exhibitors
than any other amusement show in the world) of professionals representing both the newest ideas
in waterpark products and services, plus those proven performers that have brought the industry
through the years. The Symposium typically features more than 50 seminars and workshops on core
industry issues, as well as personal and professional development. Special workshops are
dedicated to specialized areas of our industry such as hotel/resort development and operation and
international and public-sector facilities. more info
