2024-05-08 - 2024-05-10 | Kalahari Resort and Conference Center, 7000 Kalahari Drive, Sandusky, OH, 44870, United States
The conference has grown from 399 attendees to over 1,000 in the past 16 years. The Ohio Stormwater Conference is an annual conference dedicated to advancing the knowledge and understanding of comprehensive stormwater and watershed management for those dealing in all aspects of planning, design, implementation and regulatory compliance. This year’s conference is held May 8-10, 2024 at the Kalahari Resort and Conference Center located in Sandusky, Ohio. The conference will provide updates on environmental issues, new technologies, regulatory information and pollution prevention. The 2024 Ohio Stormwater Conference is a great opportunity to strengthen your skills and knowledge in an intensive workshop setting with other colleagues.
The Tinker’s Creek Watershed Partners and the Ohio Stormwater Association are looking forward to another great program with experts in the stormwater and watershed management fields sharing their knowledge, and experience. If you attend only one stormwater conference in 2024, this is the one! The conference is an excellent opportunity to network with other professionals and to talk directly with vendors who will be exhibiting the latest technology. All of this is designed to benefit those of us working to comply with municipal, industrial, and construction NPDES stormwater permits by helping us keep up with the latest stormwater management information.
If you have any questions, please contact Harry Stark at harry@tinkerscreek.org
Hope to see you there!
