The busy conference and exhibit season is here once again. With the majority of the conferences held during the winter months when business slows down around much of the country due to colder weather, we can sometimes feel exhausted as a result of all the travel, exhibit setup, take-down and networking.

After WEFTEC, the NASSCO team will get busy preparing for the Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show, Underground Construction Technology International Conference and Exhibition, NASSCO’s Annual Conference and NASTT No-Dig Show, as well as multiple regional Water Environment conferences throughout the year.

If your organization is like ours, we often return from conferences and analyze the return on our investment to exhibit and/or attend these shows. While we cannot always identify a tangible return, we do see a strong return on our own education and how NASSCO can best impact the industry.

Underground infrastructure conferences are an excellent way to bring together industry experts to share information, identify common needs and challenges, provide training and education, and review the latest and greatest technologies. NASSCO’s Annual Conference is no exception.

NASSCO members tell us the benefits they receive by attending NASSCO’s Annual Conference include the opportunity to network with peers, join one of our influential committees, and learn about the latest trends and technologies available during our Technical Day. What may not be as obvious is the way NASSCO’s Annual Conference impacts our industry. Members leave armed with new knowledge, quality contacts and a renewed spirit to come together to set standards for the assessment and rehabilitation of underground infrastructure.

NASSCO has been setting standards since 1976 and will celebrate its 40th anniversary next year in Hawaii. We are busy working to make the 2016 Annual Conference bigger and better than ever. Technical tracks will focus on inspection, laterals, cleaning and rehabilitation, and will include a municipal forum with participants who represent cities and utilities deeply involved in the use of trenchless technologies. Additionally, the conference will feature expanded committee meetings and networking opportunities that include our annual golf tournament, welcome reception and banquet. NASSCO’s 2016 Annual Conference is not one you will want to miss.

Book your flight now for the best possible fares, and reserve your room at the Sheraton Maui Resort and Spa by visiting sheraton-maui.com. Don’t forget to request your special NASSCO rate.
