NRC and its partners have put together an educational program for our 21st Annual Congress & Exposition, “2002: Banding Together,” that you won’t want to miss. From September 8-11, 2002 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas, join us to get all the latest information on hot issues such as the proliferation of controversial program design strategies, the expanding fight to preserve public funding for recycling programs, the changing landscape for product stewardship initiatives in the U.S., and the future direction of recycling in a changed world.
This year’s Congress has 8 separate tracks with a total of 46 educational sessions. In addition to NRC’s 6 tracks with 37 sessions, the U.S. Composting Council is sponsoring a track with 7 sessions and the Office of the Federal Environmental Executive is sponsoring a track with 3 sessions.
In the Growing Supply and Driving Demand tracks, the sessions will highlight the top urban and rural recycling programs in the country and the state-of-the-art in market development. The Improving Cost-Effectiveness and Performance track will have sessions offering hands-on tips for making your program more efficient, and addressing the pros and cons of new program design alternatives.
Sharing Responsibility for End-of-Life Management has several sessions on electronics and product stewardship, and in the Recycling at a Crossroads track, Congress attendees will address zero waste, sustainability, and other top policy issues likely to impact recycling’s future. The Advancing College and University Recycling track will have something for everyone involved in increasing recycling on campus, while the Getting the Most from the Organics Stream track will cover the range of composting initiatives. Federal officials will find several sessions specifically designed for their needs in the Federal Environmental Initiatives track.
NRC’s Annual Congress & Expo is the premiere training and networking opportunity for waste prevention and recycling professionals. Register today to take advantage of this exciting educational program and you’ll save $130 off the regular price!
