What can you expect from an EREF Summit?
- EREF Summits are focused on a single topic, which allows a ‘deep dive’ into issues central to that topic. The EREF Summit at WasteExpo’s focus in 2017 is leachate management, which represents one of the biggest challenges and operating costs for landfill owners today.
- The Summit provides an intimate setting for networking as well as representation from all facets of the industry – landfill owners, consultants, equipment providers, municipalities, governmental agencies.
- Sit in on talks that inform, not sell. Summit meetings are entirely focused on science/data driven discussions from cutting edge research institutions and top technical experts in the industry.
- All attendees will receive certificates of attendance for professional development purposes. EREF is approved in all 50 states as a continuing education provider for licensed Professional Engineers.
