The Portable Sanitation Association International will host its popular Nuts & Bolts Educational Conference in San Antonio Nov. 1-4. Portable restroom operators and suppliers come from across the country and even the globe to attend this industry-specific networking and educational event.
Long-time industry leaders and those just contemplating the purchase of their first unit gather to share knowledge and camaraderie. Folks come to Nuts & Bolts for the education but leave with mentors and friends. The development of a close-knit community keeps people coming back year after year.
The theme this year is “Business Essentials and Impacts.” The conference will offer an array of speakers, panelists and workshops on topics including SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat) analysis for PROs, disaster preparedness and developing your workplace culture.
Of course, there will be several sessions of PSAI’s renowned “roundtables.” Participants will have several opportunities to choose from nearly 20 industry topics with discussion facilitated by experts. The conversational setting allows questions and ideas to flow organically. Even those in the industry for decades can tell you they always hear something new at the PSAI roundtables. You may learn the answer to questions you didn’t even know you had.
PSAI also knows how to mix learning with a good time. There will also be evening receptions and a pub crawl fundraiser for the PSAI Scholarship Fund along the San Antonio River Walk.
For the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, the Nuts & Bolts Educational Conference will bring back the popular site visit portion of the event. Attendees will take a tour of Texas Disposal Systems — a large, diverse and highly efficient operation. You’ll see their portable restroom operations, but also their unique landfill and recycling systems, and their exotic wildlife ranch! Yes, you read that correctly. The tour will finish with a BBQ lunch at the company’s pavilion.
Whether you are seeking to broaden your knowledge, gain continuing education credits, or simply network with the best in the industry — the PSAI Nuts & Bolts Educational Conference will have something for you. To register for the conference, visit www.psai.org/events
