The program committee chair for this year’s symposium is Joe Provenazno who has over 50 years of experience int he water/wastewater sector.
Joe is heading up a dedicated committee of seasoned professionals from public utilities, private sector service providers, engineering firms, consultants, and national level vendors to select this year’s symposium program
– Matt Phillips (participant from Canada)I would like to encourage anyone who has the chance to attend the next symposium – whether as an attendee or a presenter – and get a fresh perspective on the issues you face every day. Maybe even share your experience with others. You’ll be glad you did.
– Jon GrantI found the WWAC Symposium…to be extremely informative and useful. As a water/wastewater instrumentation and controls engineer based in the Northeast, I appreciated the insight of others working in the same field from around the country, as the industry in my area can sometimes feel very insulated. The opportunity to share thoughts and ideas with those individuals, and attend presentations about topics that I tackle on a daily basis was priceless. The different perspectives and methods to solving problems provided me inspiration to approach projects from a different direction and will directly benefit my clients in both the short- and long-term
– Giancarlo Osorio Osorio (participant from Mexico)In the 2011 WWAC Symposium…we learnt the importance in developing SCADA standards where to describe all the needs of our user groups, the final clients expectations and the organizational goals. We have started to implement our own SCADA Standards, nowadays we are in the position to clearly define what we want.
– Michael FedenyszenAll of the WWAC Symposia I have attended have always been very informative and excellent networking opportunities. Plant managers, technicians and engineers have received an abundance of information regarding state-of-the-art I&C technology directly related to timely Water &Wastewater applications. The presentations have been awesome. I’m looking forwarding to this year’s symposium.
– Bob DuszaThe Alarm Management Course offered at the 2011 WWAC Symposium has provided us with important information to setup an Alarm Philosophy for both the Water and Wastewater SCADA Systems. This will provide a template for future work by System Integrators that will have to be followed and provide consistent information for the operators. It was one of the best courses that I have taken in awhile. I’m looking forward to the full-day Automation/SCADA Security short course they will be offering along with this year’s 2012 WWAC Symposium!
– Wally InghamThe 2011 ISA WWAC symposium was my first and I found it very enjoyable and useful. It covered topics directly related to current water/wastewater issues such as commissioning and SCADA. The get-togethers at lunch and afterwards allowed me to meet people in my industry and discuss common issues with my industry peers. One of the great benefits is that it provides a venue to share experiences and advice that is relevant to our water/wastewater sector. I am looking forward to attending the WWAC symposium again in 2012.
