This is OWMA’s first in-person, large-scale conference since the pandemic began and we know that the industry is looking forward to engaging and networking with professionals and organizations from across the industry.

 

4). There’s no other national conference like CWRC

During CWRC, attendees will have the opportunity to examine the most relevant and essential topics facing the sector. It is your chance to connect with the “who‘s who” of the waste management sector. CWRC brings together waste management professionals representing business, industry, municipalities, and government. Meet with your industry colleagues and see for yourself why CWRC is recognized as ‘the place to be’ for the waste sector across the country.
