WEFTEC 2010 New Orleans, what a great show!

The show started off in its usual fashion – introductions, leads, demos and apparently for New Orleans little sleep and a lot of people talking about the fun they had the night before. This year’s WEFTEC was easily surpassed previous years, with over 17,500 people attending and 984 exhibitors. The exhibit hall itself was nearly a mile long end to end.

There was a lot of chatter this year about energy efficiency, sustainability and the wastewater infrastructure. A big ticket issue was the EPA’s new Clean Water and Drinking Water Infrastructure Sustainability Policy. This of course ties right into our philosophy – save operating and energy cost, work towards a sustainable water infrastructure and become greener through conscientiously managing your pump stations more efficiently.

Overall the show was amazing, we had great booth traffic, awesome help from Brendan’s reps – Coastal and Odessa Pumps, Hydra Service, Automatic Engineering Inc., Pete Duty and Associates, Instrument and Supply, and Nedrow and Associates. And of course our very own MultiTrode crew, Sandy in particular who did a great job organizing and coordinating WEFTEC 2010. We are looking forward to taking on The City of Angels at WEFTEC 2011!

The 73rd Annual Victorian (WIOA) Water Industry Engineers & Operators Conference & Exhibition was held at the Bendigo Showgrounds on 2nd and 3rd September 2010. There were 141 exhibitors and over 1000 people attended the exhibition over the two days. There were conference sessions held over the two days allowing delegates to see vendor exhibits and also attend presentations.
There were Award Presentations for the following:

• Presentation of Actizyme Prizes for “Best paper by WIOA Members”
• Presentation of Hepburn & Iwaki Prizes for “Best Paper Overall”
• Presentation of WITC Prize for “Best Operator Poster Paper”
• Presentation of “Operator of the Year” as judged by AWA (Vic)
• Presentation of “Young Operator of Year” as judged by IWA (Vic)

Our stand was well located and we met existing customers and also potential new customers. Overall it was worthwhile to exhibit and be seen as it increases awareness of our products and enhances the Multitrode brand. Stuart and myself needed to put the feet up after three days of standing and also the “fun part” setting up and packing up!
