On behalf of the PWEA Board of Directors and the 2023 Conference Committee, we invite you to attend PWEA's 94th Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (PennTec 2023) on June 18-21 at the Hershey Lodge & Convention Center, in Hershey, 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 Professional Development Hours, in just a few days!
Workshops offering hour-for-hour operator contact hours are available at the discounted rate of $25 each 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 2023 Workshop Information. Conference registration fees can be found on the PennTec 2023 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. UPDATE: The Annual Golf Tournament HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED to Wednesday, June 21st with an 8:30am shotgun start. On Monday, there will be a Plant Tour, the President's Reception, the Annual PWEA Awards Ceremony and Reception, and the Tailgate Dinner and Cornhole Tournament.

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!
