WWETT features more than 100 educational sessions over the course of the event, led by leading associations and manufacturers. The sessions get started on Wednesday, Feb. 17, with what’s aptly named Education Day with more than 50 educational seminars running from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
More sessions are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. The educational offerings feature trenchless technology topics in pipeline rehabilitation and repair and utility location, as well as sewer cleaning repairs, operation and maintenance and safety. Other topics include hydro-excavation and business trends.
WWETT is also featuring two nights of its annual Kick-off Party, this year held at Lucas Oil Stadium down on the football field, allowing attendees to network and relax. Tapping into the popular craft beer craze, new to the Kick-off event is the First Annual Wastewater Brewing Competition, allowing WWETT home brewers to show off their best creations to a panel of judges for a chance to win the coveted Golden Growler award.
The convention’s annual Industry Appreciation and Networking Party is on Friday, Feb. 19 at Indiana Convention Center, featuring country artist Jerrod Niemann.
