The Sessions End. The Connections Don’t.

Some of the best conversations at WGC happen after the presentations are over.

Join us for two evenings designed to help you unwind, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet a few new ones along the way.

WGC Events

Welcome Reception

Start WGC with good company.

Kick off the Western Groundwater Congress with drinks, bites, and plenty of time to connect. Catch up with colleagues, meet new faces, visit with our exhibitors, and settle into the week ahead.

And keep your eyes open — we’ve invited a few special animal visitors to stop by and help us kick off WGC in true Palm Springs style. You’ll definitely want your camera ready.

Come say hello, grab a drink, and see who shows up!

WGC After Party

Same dance floor. Your choice of soundtrack.

We’re turning down the speakers and turning up the fun at our silent disco! Grab a pair of headphones, pick your channel, and join us for a WGC night unlike any other.

Whether you’re ready to hit the dance floor or just want to watch your groundwater colleagues dance to music you can’t hear, you won’t want to miss this one.

Headphones on. Conference mode off.

Poster Presentations

Big ideas deserve more than a quick glance.

Take some time to explore this year’s poster presentations and connect directly with the people behind the work. Our poster presenters will be on hand to share their research, answer questions, and dig a little deeper into the ideas shaping groundwater across California.

Grab a drink, wander the posters, ask a question or two, and discover something new.

See the work. Meet the minds behind it.

Thank you to all of our reception sponsors
