ASSOCIATIONINSIGHT Portable Sanitation Association International News BIWEEKLY EDITION OCTOBER 14, 2020 Page 19 Continued on page 20 Coming November 17–20: Event Highlights By Todd Ginter, PSAI's Director of Marketing We look forward to welcoming you next month to the PSAI's first ever Virtual Educational Conference and Trade Show happening November 17-20. Whether they take place in the physical world or virtually, the PSAI's events are known for educational programming that is essential for professionals engaged in the portable sanitation profession. It is planned by a committee of practitioners based on feedback from operators throughout the industry. When you attend the event and take part in these learning opportunities you'll be able to apply what you learned immediately. And now, your entire staff can attend sessions specifically aimed at their job needs. With recordings available for a month after the event, even small shops that lack the time to fully immerse themselves in the event can take part in these learning experiences. Here's What You Can Expect • Keynote speakers. The opening keynote address is titled: How to Reimagine Your Business for the COVID-19 Economy. The world may never be the same. Now is not the time to "wait" until normal comes back. Small business expert Barry Moltz teaches how to reimagine your business with the assets, skills, and relationships you currently have, and match them to what your customers need now. Barry has been a business owner, and has written six books on a variety of business topics. Prior to the event, he will meet with several portable sanitation company leaders to learn about our unique industry, and then he'll apply his expertise to help you get the most from this session. On day two, PSAI's Executive Director, Karleen Kos, will present New Standards, New Future for Portable Sanitation and Nonsewered Waste Systems. It may not be obvious in your day- to-day work, but portable sanitation is always evolving. Karleen has traveled the world (back when we still could) learning about next generation toilets and waste disposal systems. She's also served on teams developing new ISO and ANSI standards for technologies that have the potential to radically change our industry over the next decade. You'll learn about the new equipment technologies and strategies for waste disposal that are being created to help companies and communities better address the challenges they face. This is a peek into the future! • Specialized learning tracks. We are very excited to be offering specialized learning tracks that are tailored for employee specialties. Here are the learning tracks that will be offered: Operations Team These courses have been updated and address best industry practices whether COVID-19 is a factor or not. Barry Moltz
