Next month the Portable Sanitation Association International will host its 46th Nuts & Bolts Education Conference near downtown Atlanta Oct. 31-Nov. 2. Nuts & Bolts is one of the most unique ways to learn about the industry, whether you’re new in business or looking to expand in size or services. Last year, attendance set a record with 250 registered industry professionals. PSAI expects to see this number grow again this year.
Attendees will enjoy a variety of speakers, panels and of course, a favorite of attendees every year, the roundtable discussions. This is an opportunity for industry professionals of all experiences and operation sizes to ask questions and share knowledge directly. Some of the best networking connections are made during these sessions.
PSAI adds a little fun to every event. The first day ends with the PSAI Ramble Amble. This poker-run style activity debuted last year, proving an immediate hit. Participants can run or walk (ramble or amble) a scenic 1-2-mile route just outside the venue’s front door, collecting chips in exchange for cards and getting a little education along the way. Attendees can participate for free or pay a small entry fee to be entered to win a cash prize. Half of registration proceeds will benefit the PSAI Scholarship Fund and charity of choice, and the other 50% will be a cash prize for the best hand. Last year’s winner received $800!
Special to this year will be two site visits. Satellite Industries and United Site Services will host tours allowing attendees to see firsthand how some of the largest supplier and portable sanitation operations in the industry work.
The tour at United Site Services will cover these areas:
- HydroFlow Sanitation System
- Trailers
- Emergency Response
- FSL/Routing & Logistics
- Safety/Lytx & Penske
At Satellite Industries, attendees will gain insights about the tank and truck manufacturing process from start to finish — including metal fabrication and assembly for the different size tanks and trailers. Satellite’s team will share the modernization of the restroom sub-assembly and assembly process along with their culture, history and growth.
Whether you wish to broaden your knowledge, earn CEUs or network with the best in the industry — PSAI Nuts & Bolts Educational Conference will have something for you. We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta. To register for the conference, visit www.psai.org/events.
