Sept. 26-30 | Chicago, IL
The 2015 Water Environment Federation Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC.15) -- considered the largest annual water quality event in the world -- will take place Sept. 26-30 at the McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill.
WEFTEC.15 is expected to draw approximately 20,000 attendees and will feature 29 workshops, 17 mobile sessions, seven local facility tours, and 135 technical sessions. The event will also feature over 900 speakers presenting in both podium and poster formats, and more than 1,000 companies will showcase their products across roughly 30,000 square feet of exhibit space.
The event's workshops are presented in an in-depth, hands-on format and will cover topics such as municipal wastewater treatment process and design; facility operations and maintenance; energy/residuals and biosolids management; collection systems; stormwater management; watershed resources management and sustainability; and utility management and leadership; as well as industrial water issues and treatment technologies.
Furthermore, WEFTEC's technical sessions are compiled by over 230 topical experts in the Program Committee and will focus on research and innovation; disinfection and public health; water reclamation and reuse; and future insights and global issues; to name a few. Some of the topics will include shortcut nitrogen removal, innovative approaches for chlorine disinfection, direct and indirect potable reuse, and resilient water infrastructure design and operations.
The Stormwater Congress Program, located on the WEFTEC exhibition floor, will offer access to more than 30 specifically tailored stormwater technical sessions and workshops covering topics such as policies and regulations, flood impacts and mitigation, benefits of green infrastructure, and stormwater financing and funding strategies, among others. Further, the program will include the Stormwater Pavilion area, which features a variety of stormwater exhibitors and a theater hosting several presentations, discussions and networking opportunities.
WEFTEC will also feature its fourth annual Innovation Pavilion, which provides a selection of early- and growth-stage companies honored by BlueTech Research, Imagine H2O and the WEF Innovative Technology Awards. Many of these companies are investor-backed and working with high-profile customers in the industrial and municipal markets. The Pavilion's theater will host a series of educational sessions for utilities, investors, entrepreneurs, and technology providers. Sessions will include WEFTEC Exhibitor's Innovative Solutions and Operations Ingenuity Contest Winners.
At WEFTEC, licensed professionals can earn up to 1.2 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) at workshops, 16.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) at technical sessions, and up to eight contact hours per day for time spent visiting the exhibition. These programs provide opportunities to get involved and gain knowledge of technical advances in a specific field and in many cases are required in order to renew licenses or certifications.
Facility tours include Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD) of Greater Chicago's Tunnel and Reservoir Project McCook Reservoir Stage 1; MWRD's Stickney Water Reclamation Plant; DuPage County's Woodridge-Greene Valley Wastewater Plant; City of Chicago's Jardine Water Purification Plant; Thorn Creek Basin Sanitary District; John G. Shedd Aquarium's Environmental Quality Lab and Life Support Systems; and Stormwater Management Tour: Calumet Stormwater Collaborative Projects.
The event's Opening General Session, scheduled for Monday, Sept. 28, will feature remarks from WEF President Ed McCormick and a keynote address from Rob Stewart, an award-winning biologist, photographer, conservationist, filmmaker, and author. Stewart will discuss his film, Revolution, and his presentation will help frame the water sector's own revolutionary efforts to transform sustainable water management and push water to the forefront of innovation.

Cyanobacteria causes problems such as health and odor issues when blooming in lakes and water reservoirs. As such, LG Sonic has developed the MPC-Buoy, a floating, solar-powered system that emits specific ultrasonic parameters to target the algae present. The MPC-Buoy eliminates up to 90% of the existing algae, prevents new blooms and reduces TSS, BOD and chemical consumption. The technology is installed in lakes and drinking water reservoirs in the U.S., Canada, Colombia, the U.K., Malaysia, and Poland.
