The 2016 Water Environment Federation Annual Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC.16) - considered the largest annual water quality event in the world - will take place Sept. 24-28 at the Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, La.
The 89th annual conference is expected to draw more than 20,000 attendees and will feature 29 workshops, 16 mobile sessions on the exhibit floor, nine local facility tours, and 130 technical sessions. More than 1,000 companies will showcase the latest in water technology solutions during the 5-day event. A Stormwater Congress and Pavilion, along with an Innovation Showcase Pavilion, will round out the program.
On Monday, Sept. 26, the Opening General Session, titled “Creating the Future of Water,” will feature a keynote address from Joe Whitworth, president of The Freshwater Trust, a non-profit organization that protects and restores freshwater ecosystems through science, technology, and incentive-based solutions. The conference kicks into high gear after that, with workshops and technical sessions.
Workshops are presented in an in-depth, hands-on format and will cover topics such as industrial water issues and treatment technologies; municipal wastewater treatment process and design; facility operations and maintenance; energy/residuals and biosolids management; collection systems; watershed resources management and sustainability; and utility management and leadership; among others.
Technical sessions will focus on research and innovation; industrial issues and treatment technologies; facility operations and maintenance; municipal wastewater treatment process and design; residuals and biosolids management; collection systems and distribution; water reclamation and reuse; and utility management and leadership; to name a few. Other topics include anaerobic treatment and resources recovery, innovations in regulations, and urban resiliency planning.
Facility tours, which require additional registration and admission fees, are an opportunity to observe active projects, construction, and/or operations at sites around New Orleans. Licensed professionals may also earn contact hours for attendance at one of these off-site events. (For information on earning up to 1.2 continuing education units or 16.5 professional development hours at the show, visit www.weftec.org/program.) Participating local facilities include St. Bernard Parish Munster Wastewater Treatment Plant, Sewerage and Water Board of New Orleans, St. Tammany Parish Timber Branch II & Del Sol Stormwater Pond, Ascension Parish Marvin Braud Pump Station, and a sustainable design tour with Make it Right’s Lower 9th Ward Neighborhood.
The Innovation Showcase will include exhibits, educational sessions, and networking events covering innovation trends in the market, financial innovation and investment prospects, opportunities for piloting and partnering with new technology companies, and innovation in regulations. The Pavilion features a selection of early- and growth-stage companies recognized by BlueTech Research, Imagine H2O and the WEF Innovative Technology Awards. Winners of several innovative product awards will display their products with brief presentations on innovative technologies and problem solving in this area of the exhibit hall.
Likewise, the Stormwater Pavilion and Theater will showcase the latest in stormwater management products and services. Educational programming, including award-winning solutions to stormwater challenges, new ideas and tools will be on display as part of the Stormwater Congress program, which brings stormwater professionals from around the world together. The Stormwater Congress encompasses all pressing aspects of stormwater management in three concurrent sessions covering such topics as stormwater regulations and policies, flood impacts and mitigation, stormwater and transportation systems, green infrastructure benefits, funding and financing challenges in stormwater, and more.
