Meet With Us in Reno, Nevada

This year’s ASSE International Annual Meeting will offer something unique to individuals who have never missed a meeting and those who have never attended. The Annual Meeting is a great opportunity for those serving on various committees, working groups, and boards to gather, conduct business, and socialize. So, please join me and many others on Sept. 22 – 26 for ASSE International’s 113th Annual Meeting, co-located with IAPMO’s 90th Annual Education and Business Conference at the Silver Legacy Hotel in Reno.

Many attendees at the IAPMO Conference will be plumbing and mechanical officials from around the country. Co-locating our conferences allows us a chance to network with those responsible for enforcing our numerous standards and professional qualifications. Some additional benefits of this year’s co-located meeting include back-to-back forums – ASSE manufacturer’s forum and IAPMO industry forum – where manufacturers get to hear from and give feedback to both ASSE and IAPMO leadership; observing the end of the 2021 Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC®) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC®) development process and finding out what you can anticipate for code changes; and nine technical education speakers.

Visit www.assemeeting.org to register for the 2019 ASSE International Annual Meeting or purchase a joint ASSE/IAPMO Conference registration package. Come enjoy the camaraderie at ASSE’s events, or even add on a few IAPMO Conference events. And make sure to set aside some time to enjoy the spectacular scenery in and around Reno – the choice of what to do is yours only after you choose to attend. See all of you in September!
