as long time stewards in the water and wastewater industry, we have witnessed inspiring stories on what we as water Professionals can accomplish when we work together. as we consider the numerous tasks in which our members take part, we acknowledge that we all have the same end goal...to produce and provide safe water for our communities, and to clean and dispose of water appropriately for the environment. we cannot do it alone. what we do certainly depends on the help of others.
one clear image of “working together for water” this year has been our Conference Management Committee (CMC) working to put together 3 full days of packed opportunities. several new things have been put into place to help make this year’s conference experience a fulfilling one. we are introducing Conference-level sponsorships and several companies have agreed to show their support for our conference and our mission. we are now utilizing the web for online abstract submission in preparation for this conference. we are premiering multi-hour workshops on sunday for water, wastewater and stormwater, and for the first time in the history of the conference, we will be traveling offsite for our Grand Finale, taking in one of Myrtle Beach’s newest and sought after shows! it is amazing to see what all takes place behind the scenes of such a successful conference and we are very proud of the CMC for their hard work and planning; they are another great example of what working together for water really means.
in addition to all that’s new this year, keep in mind that this conference is a great opportunity to share knowledge
with our fellow water Professionals and brings a chance to learn new and exciting technology
through our exhibitors’ displays and presentations, renew old friendships and make
new acquaintances. Feel free to peruse this flyer and get an idea of what’s available for you at the 2012 sCeC! with over 146 technical sessions on
a wide variety of water, wastewater, and stormwater topics, there is something for everyone and an opportunity
to explore both in and outside your specialty and current role.
We hope that you wil l take ful l advantage of al l that’s planned and we look forward to seeing you at the C onference!
