WASTECON and COVID Update

SWANA is working tirelessly to ensure WASTECON is as safe as possible for our participants. We are cautiously optimistic to see the COVID-19 cases in Florida are decreasing and are hoping to see this trend continue as we prepare for WASTECON in Orlando, November 1-4. 

SWANA expects to have enough room for appropriate spacing while indoors and will be holding the networking event outside on Tuesday, November 2. With a flexible cancellation policy when it comes to WASTECON registration and the Gaylord Palms Resort & Convention Center, SWANA makes it easy for you to transfer or cancel reservations if necessary. We also encourage those planning to attend WASTECON to take all the necessary precautions, including: getting vaccinated, wearing a mask, and getting a COVID test before attending.
