John Van Arsdel Chair 2013-2014Illinois Section American Water Works AssociationWelcome to WATERCON2014! I am pleased to welcome you and your fellow water professionals to our annual conference. This premier event for the Illinois Section American Water Works Association and the Illinois Water Environment Association will deliver a multitude of educational sessions and exhibitions designed to provide the best water show in the state of Illinois. The joint conference has something for everyone who works in the water industry whether you are an Operator, an Engineer, a Vendor, or Water or Wastewater Manager. Watch events where people tap pipe, get quizzed on their knowledge of water, disassemble and reassemble hydrants and judge who has the best tasting water in the state. Service providers and equipment providers will exhibit their latest wares and services providing information to help water and wastewater utilities make educated and informed decisions on meeting the future demands of maintaining and improving our water and wastewater infrastructure. Our huge selection of technical sessions will provide continuing education credit hours for attendance as you listen to fellow water professionals detail solutions to problems they encountered in their day to day operations. Whether you are a seasoned veteran of this annual event or a first time attendee, the opportunities for engagement with other water professionals are vast. This is a great experience that you will surely remember!

welcome to watercon

Dan BoundsPresident 2013-2014Illinois Water Environment Association On behalf of the Illinois Water Environment Association (IWEA), welcome to WATERCON2014! This is the sixth joint conference for IWEA and ISAWWA, and WATERCON2014 offers more for you than ever before. The planning committees for this year’s conference have done an excellent job designing a program that has something to offer everyone. You are in the place to be for networking with your peers and keeping up with the latest developments in our industry.

This year’s conference features the first ever wastewater operator challenge, where teams or individuals can test their skills in operations, maintenance, laboratory, and safety challenge events. Visit the technical sessions to hear from expert speakers in your field, check out the exhibit hall for new technological advancements, and show your support to IWEA’s young professionals who have planned several great events. 2014 is a special year for IWEA, our 35th anniversary. The IWEA Annual Banquet returns to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum for the occasion.

Illinois depends on your continued dedication to protecting and enhancing our water environment, and WATERCON is the place to be for the information and connections you need for success. I, as well as IWEA’s Board, committee chairs, and conference planning volunteers, hope you enjoy the conference.

Your goal is to locate as many logos as you can and ask the exhibiting company for a sticker to place on this logo hunt sheet. Once you have found and placed all of the stickers on the sheet, you will turn the completed sheet into the Conference Registration Desk on the ground floor lobby. Make sure to put your name and contact information on the sheet also.

All entries must be turned in to the Conference Registration Desk by Wednesday March 19, at 10:00 am. In the event that there are multiple entries that contain all the correct company names, the MAC Committee will draw a winner from all the correct entries. The announcement of the winner will be at 11:45 am on Wednesday, March 19 in the main Exhibit Hall. The winner need not be present to win but it would certainly be more fun that way.
