The Portable Sanitation Association International is thrilled to share a new partnership with The Water Expo, the water and wastewater trade show that unites the Americas. In the coming year, these two organizations will combine strengths to increase the presence of portable sanitation in the wastewater sector by providing greater access to industry-specific education and best practices. The 2023 Water Expo will be held August 22-24 in Miami.
The Water Expo brings industry professionals together from more than 45 countries to connect with distributors and manufacturers worldwide. As of 2022, The Water Expo also offers a University Day to integrate an educational component to the show.
The PSAI has been a hub for innovation and education around portable sanitation for 50 years. Today we boast leading-edge training courses, bringing service technicians to the highest standards of customer service and safety. To date, though, these courses have only been offered in English. The PSAI and The Water Expo will collaborate to bring this same quality of education to the portable sanitation’s Latin American and Spanish-speaking communities.
The Water Expo and PSAI hope to pilot the first of these courses at each organization’s educational events in 2023 while exploring avenues to increase their availability in the future. PSAI will be modifying our most popular Basic Service Technician Training Series to be applicable to countries outside the U.S. With The Water Expo’s support, those materials will further be translated into Spanish. Together, PSAI and The Water Expo will identify subject matter experts to deliver the trainings.
PSAI is excited to be growing our international offerings, but also to recognize and honor the diversity in our home base in the U.S. We believe this is another big step in following the association vision: a world in which clean and safe sanitation is available to everyone.
