Every year, NASSCO members gather for our three-day annual conference. It’s one of the highlights of the year, and this year, we’re doing something a little different.
Typically held in mid-February, a busy season for other conferences and trade shows, we decided to alleviate some of the stresses of intense travel during the winter season and hold our 2018 annual conference in the spring. This year’s conference will be held April 11-13 in beautiful San Antonio.
The conference is an opportunity for members to learn about initiatives that impact our industry, accomplishments made in setting standards, and new technologies available to further promote trenchless methods as well as — of course — to network with peers and share opinions through committee participation and social events.
It all kicks off with a golf tournament and welcome reception Wednesday, April 11. Thursday will be an intensive day of member participation through our informative general meeting followed by committee breakout sessions where NASSCO members can get involved and have a voice in hot topics such as CIPP, government relations, pressure pipe, asset management and many others. For a full list of NASSCO committees, visit www.nassco.org.
Friday, April 13 is Technical Day. Traditionally held in two tracks, this year we will provide one interactive session with presentations by representatives from the Water Environment Association of Texas and the San Antonio Water System. We will also hear from the asset program manager from Meridian, Idaho; the director of Water and Wastewater from Framingham, Massachusetts; and others.
The session will allow for roundtable discussions and an open forum, providing NASSCO members the opportunity to ask questions regarding issues of specific importance to them.
The conference will conclude with a cocktail reception and banquet on Friday night when we will introduce the new NASSCO Board of Directors. Attendees will have the opportunity to socialize and connect with other members while line dancing, playing horseshoes and trying their skills at life-sized Jenga.
The locale for the 2018 NASSCO Annual Conference is the La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio Hill Country. We encourage members to book their rooms now, as they do fill up fast. To make reservations and receive the special rate of $259 per night, call 855-499-2960 or click www.destinationhotels.com/la-cantera-resort-and-spa/resort.
