2022 wastewater conferences will be virtual; enrollment open now

The wastewater conferences scheduled for March of 2022 are being offered online as a virtual event again this year. They will be held March 21st and 22nd in a format similar to the 2021 event.  Registration and enrollment is available now on the MPCA Wastewater Operators Training and Certification webpage.

The annual Wastewater Collection Systems Conference and the Wastewater Operations Conference were originally scheduled to be a hybrid event offering both in-person and virtual options to meet everyone’s needs. Numerous technical and logistical challenges to do the hybrid successfully led to the change in format, but they were not the only consideration. The decision to deliver the conferences virtually was made with careful consideration weighing the pros and cons along with the needs of our session developers, speakers/presenters, vendors, staff and technical support, and of course our operators and attendees.

In-person events for the Class A/B, C/D, SA/SB, SC/SD Certification Refreshers, Type IV refresher, and Type V refresher events are being held as separate events during the same week. Registration is available here: Collection and Wastewater Exam Refresher.

To learn more about this year’s wastewater conference, or to register to attend any wastewater or exam certification event in 2022, please check out the Wastewater Operators Training and Certification webpage to enroll.
