What is IStorm 2020?
IStorm 2020 Virtual Conference and Exhibition is a new, comprehensive event for all aspects of the stormwater industry. Attendees can expect presentations on MS4 implementation, floodplain management, erosion and sediment control, and stormwater design and planning.
Who should attend?
The conference merges ISWEP’s green infrastructure conferences and annual stormwater summit into one experience applicable to municipal employees, elected officials, engineers, landscape architects, floodplain managers, watershed and conservation staff, sediment and erosion control professionals, and many others.
Can I get professional development credit?
Entire conference is eligible for a total of 9.5 professional development hours (PDHs). All sessions will be recorded and available for registrants to view for six months after the event has ended.
Why is this conference being held virtually?
Due to the uncertainty with COVID-19, the IStorm planning committee made the difficult decision to conduct the conference online for the safety of attendees and our staff. However, we are excited to announce that we have partnered with Whova, a virtual conference platform company, to provide attendees with an interactive, engaging event that mimics the in-person experience. Attendees will be able to pose questions directly to speakers, interact with exhibitors, watch live demonstrations, create their own Zoom hangouts, and even meet virtually for lunch and pub trivia!
Tune in for an update on what's new in the Iowa DNR wastewater program, including operation during a pandemic, proposed rulemaking actions, and the EPA National Compliance Initiative. Also take the opportunity to discuss the conditions of an NPDES permit and how to accurately submit a Discharge Monitoring Report. Free Virtual Training for 2 hours of Wastewater credit!
