Four options to attend Congress

PWA is excited to bring the 2012 International Public Works Congress & Exposition to Anaheim, California, August 26-29, at the Anaheim Convention Center. With more than 125 educational sessions and nearly 90,000 square feet of exhibit space, you have the opportunity to learn, network and see the largest display of public works equipment in North America. By the time this issue of the APWA Reporter hits your mailbox, there

will only be a short time left before Congress begins. Needless to say, time is running out; however, there’s still time to register! Just go to www.apwa. net/Congress for more information. To ensure you are able to arrange your schedule to be here and have the options you need, APWA gives you four options to attend the Congress & Exposition: 1. Full Congress Registration – $700 members (best value). Includes access to the Exposition,

entry to all educational sessions including General Sessions, Workshop Wednesday and Stormwater Summit, lunch on Sunday and Monday, Get Acquainted Party, Awards Ceremony and much more. 2. One-Day Congress Registration – $350 per day members. Choose the day(s) you can attend and get access to the Exposition, entry to all educational sessions including General Session, and lunch (Sunday and Monday only). 3. One-Day Expo Only Pass – $35. Access to more than 400 exhibitors with all the latest in public works equipment, services and technology. 4. Pre-Congress Seminars Registration – $350 members. This year’s Pre-Congress Seminars are “Self-Assessment Using the Public Works Management Practices Manual—A Tool for Improving Operations and Management” and “Effective Consultant Management for the Public Works Agency.” These workshops have a separate fee and you do not have to be registered for Congress to take advantage of these great opportunities for additional education. Don’t miss this opportunity to take advantage of this full library of resources and to experience the excitement of Anaheim. Remember the magic URL: www.apwa.net/ Congress. Anaheim here we come!
