6/5/2022 - 6/8/2022

Event Description
Pre-registration is now closed. 
New registrations or changes to existing registrations must be done on-site at the PWEA On-Site Registration Desk.

On behalf of the PWEA Board of Directors and the 2022 Conference Committee, we invite you to attend PWEA's 93rd Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (PennTec 2022) on June 5-8 at the Penn Stater Conference Center Hotel, in State College, PA.

This year's Conference Program includes a wide range of topics related to water quality.  In addition to the Conference technical sessions, we are also presenting workshops which have been approved by the PA DEP for additional contact hours for wastewater and drinking water operator licenses.  By attending these workshops, you could earn up to 19.0 DEP Contact Hours, or up to 19.0 Continuing Education, in just a few days!   

Remember, workshops offering hour-for-hour operator contact hours are available at no additional charge to those who register for the Full Conference.  Those who register for any category less than the Full Conference may add workshops for the fees listed on the Workshop Registration Form.  Seating is limited so you must register in advance to reserve your seat.  Information about workshops can be found by downloading the PennTec 2022 Workshop Information.  Conference registration fees can be found on the PennTec 2022 Registration Form.  

A very important part of the Conference is the Vendor Exhibition.  By visiting the exhibits, you will gain insight into new and innovative solutions and discover new products and equipment that will help you do your job in a more efficient and safer manner.  We encourage you to talk to the vendors about what is most important to you.

The Conference includes networking opportunities for you to meet and interact with your colleagues.  The Students & Young Professionals (SYP) Committee is organizing a Community Service Project on Sunday.  On Monday, there will be a Plant Tour, Operations Challenge, the President's Reception, the Annual PWEA Awards Ceremony and Reception, and the Tailgate Dinner and Cornhole Tournament. On Tuesday, there will be a Stormwater Field Trip, the Womens' Initiative Summit and Luncheon networking event, the Beer and Pretzels Reception, and Operator Olympics. The Annual PWEA Golf Tournament will be on Wednesday.

For details about the Conference and sessions, download the PennTec 2022 Registration Program.  You can register online here or with the registration form included in the Program. We believe the PennTec Conference will provide everything you need under one roof--education, vendor contacts, and networking.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Beginning in 2022, credit card transactions will include a “technology fee.”  A fee in the amount of 3.5% of each transaction will be added to cover the fees charged to PWEA for credit card processing.
