Why Attend

Learn from each other, grow critical relationships, identify the latest trends in response, and source new products and services.

As an emergency response professional working in the inland environment, it is important to stay up-to-date on best practices and lessons-learned for incident prevention and response and maintain relationships with all parties involved in a response. At the CLEAN WATERWAYS Conference, April 9-11, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with governmental units and diverse response organizations, including maritime, facilities, rail, and pipeline during dedicated networking activities, conference sessions, and on the exhibit floor, where you can check out the latest technologies advancing the industry.

The sessions programmed for this year’s conference offer real-world and actionable solutions delivered by speakers from multiple perspectives, including government agencies, industry professionals, consultants, and environmental experts. Come learn about response planning across borders, relationship building prior to and during an emergency, communicating to stakeholders, interagency coordination, case studies on the Milepost 14 incident response, required response tactics for non-traditional oils and much more!

More reasons to attend:

• Conference sessions cover practical information on incident prevention and response challenges specific to inland waterways in the U.S. and Canada. You will gain valuable insights on topics specific to response in the inland environment from multiple perspectives, including regulators, industry professionals, consultants and environmental experts.
• Abundant opportunities to network with your peers away from the stressful challenges of a response and learn from each other, as well as build important relationships with those you may work with during a future incident.
• Navigate the intimate show floor to source technologies, equipment, and services for preventing, preparing for, and responding to oil spills and other environmental incidents.
