WASTECON transitions to virtual event in January 2021

August 27, 2020

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, SWANA has cancelled the WASTECON® that was scheduled to take place on December 7-10 in Dallas, Texas. SWANA’s executive leadership summit for the solid waste and recycling industries will be transformed into a virtual conference in late January 2021 that will bring together public and private sector waste industry leaders and professionals from the safety of their own homes and offices.

We made this decision after consulting with the WASTECON Task Force, the TXSWANA chapter leadership, SWANA members, past attendees, exhibitors, and staff, and with the approval of the Board of Directors. SWANA believes this decision reflects that the health and safety of our participants, speakers, exhibitors, and staff always needs to be our top priority.

Virtual WASTECON® will combine cutting-edge executive education with innovative program design, and leave participants better prepared to lead, inspire and achieve in these challenging times. SWANA is working to provide the unmatched networking opportunities, top industry speakers, and interaction with select industry solution providers that are all expected when participating in WASTECON®.

We understand there will be questions and concerns in response to this email. So we can address them as efficiently and as soon as possible, please email them to wastecon@swana.org.

For more information on WASTECON®, please visit WASTECON.org and follow SWANA on FacebookLinkedInTwitter, and Instagram.

We will miss being with you in person in Texas in December, but look forward to a terrific Virtual WASTECON® in January 2021 and seeing you at other SWANA events. We value your commitment and participation in SWANA, but more importantly, we value your good health.

Thank you for your continued support.

Stay safe, stay healthy.
