Dear WWOA Member, Associates, and Guests:
The WWOA Board of Directors cordially invites you to the 45thAnnual WWOA Conference to be held October 4 to October 7, 2011. This year’s conference will be held at the La Crosse Center in La Crosse, WI.
WWOA activities kick off Tuesday afternoon with the ever popular Pre-Conference Workshops. There are two concurrent workshop sessions to choose from, running from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Workshop #1 offers two topics “Down Low on Phosphorus and Phosphorus Rule – Impact on Lab Testing”. Workshop #2 is titled “Real-Time Process Monitoring at a Wastewater Plant”. The workshops will be held at the La Crosse Center in the B1 room in the South Hall and La Crosse WWTP.
At 6:00 p.m. Tuesday evening, please join us for the traditional Meet and Greet, an informal gathering of friends featuring an open buffet of brats, burgers, munchies, and refreshments in Ballroom Foyer of the La Crosse Center. Come rekindle old friendships and make new friends.
Wednesday morning activities will begin at 9:00 a.m. with an Opening Address by WWOA President Dave Carlson. Following will be our Keynote Address provided by Scott Friedman. The title of his speech is “The Best Way to Predict the Future is to Create it”. Vendor exhibits will open at 10:00 a.m. and run through 5:00 p.m. In addition, the vendor exhibits will be open Thursday morning from 8:00 a.m. until 11:45 a.m.
Concurrent Technical Sessions are scheduled for the mornings and afternoons on Wednesday and Thursday of the Conference. Thursday includes significant training opportunities for Phosphorus.
