ABOUT CONGRESS

For more than 100 years, the APWA International Public Works Congress & Exposition has drawn thousands of public works professionals from all over the world. If you're like many, you have limited resources for professional development, so you've chosen APWA's Congress as your preferred venue for:
 

  • Outstanding education sessions that address current public works issues—as well as ongoing challenges. Choose from more than 125 technical and professional development sessions that will be presented by your colleagues—who will impart their vital knowledge and experience to you. APWA's education sessions are based on the very latest learning models—classroom, interactive and "live" learning labs.
     
  • The chance to see an extensive gathering of exhibitors that will showcase the latest products, services and technologies specific to public works. APWA's exhibit floor encompasses more than 100,000 square feet! Special "non-compete" hours allow you to visit the floor—uninterrupted.
     
  • Opportunities to network with your peers, hone your leadership abilities and learn new job skills. APWA offers Congress attendees MANY opportunities to meet and mingle with your peers—the Get Acquainted Party, Awards Ceremony, Banquet and Reception and more! Build lasting professional relationships and make a few lifelong friends at the same time.
     

Congress Overview

APWA's Congress will feature more than 125 technical and professional development sessions (over 200 when you count the sessions at WASTECON) presented by your colleagues and industry vendors. There's no better way to learn than from those who are "in the know." You can earn CEUs and PDHs that will add value to the information you learn onsite. The exposition—keeping in line with the impressive size of our host site—will be the BEST ever!
