SWANA’s Wastecon to take place virtually

The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) announced that Wastecon, its executive leadership summit for solid waste and recycling professionals, will be transformed into a virtual conference taking place Jan. 26-28. The conference will consist of both live and on-demand sessions.

The Wastecon program includes four panels where speakers will discuss industry topics including COVID-19 response, EPA's new 50 percent recycling goal, and more. Additionally, the event will feature some of the top industry leaders. Rebecca Ryan, futurist and owner of Next Generation Consulting Inc., will be participating in a session on practicing future-focused leadership. Former CNN reporter and founder of MediaWorks Resource Group Mark Bernheimer will also share his insight into the tactics, motivations and “tricks of the trade” of the modern-day news media in an interactive session.

Registration for the virtual event is available on the company’s website.
