2025 Operator Boot Camp

Operator Boot Camp:  This event is the best of both worlds - hands-on demonstrations, indoor presentations and exhibiting throughout this densely packed single-day of educational offerings. Find the latest resources, services & technologies for your utility, water and wastewater.  

Attendees:

We know your time is valuable.  Our Operator Boot Camp is structured to allow you to make the most of your day.  Each demonstration will be conducted once in the morning and once in the afternoon.  You just mix and match the demos that are of interest to you.

Contact hours will be awarded — 6 water and wastewater hours (pending IDEM approval); and, since the sessions will receive IDEM approval, they are also eligible for professional engineer PDHs.  Continuing education hours will be awarded for applicable sessions for well drillers and pump installers as approved by the IDNR. To assist you in mapping out which demonstrations you wish to see, a definitive program will be sent to all registrants via email (if one is provided on the registration form), prior to August 6th.

 Please dress for weather and construction site conditions.  Also, feel free to bring your own folding chair to use during outdoor demonstrations &  your own water bottle to refill during the day (if you wish). Bottled water will also be available.

Refreshments will be available throughout the day and a BBQ lunch will be served.

Service Providers & Vendors: 

• Demonstrations can be more product specific. 
• Showcase your company’s expertise, products, services, technologies, or processes.
• Our goal is to have as much hands-on interaction as possible with the attendees.
• Each demo repeats morning/afternoon increasing opportunities to share information.

We wish to provide a full day of primarily outdoor demonstrations and presentations.  We have the use of all the grounds surrounding the Miami County Fairgrounds Community Building.  We can dig holes, demonstrate equipment, etc. as long as everything is put back to “as good or better” condition at the end of the day. Participants are responsible for your own site restoration and calling in your own locates to Indiana 811. There is plenty of room for your demonstrations, outdoor exhibits and equipment displays — just let us know the amount of space you require.

Additionally, there is indoor exhibit space for table top or small free-standing displays.  Indoor exhibitors are limited to 8’ of exhibit space and will need to bring their own tables, etc.
