正文(英文) | The Water Environment Federation (WEF; Alexandria, Va.) always says that WEFTEC has a comprehensive program. But what does that really mean to the more than 200 WEF members who volunteer on the WEF Program Committee? The description this group provides for WEFTEC content can be summed up in one word: everything. No matter how you look at the program, WEFTEC has something for everyone. Variety of topics appeal to all levelsWEFTEC features such a broad array of topics that it is hard to put them in a list without missing something. This offers attendees many different ways to see what is offered at the event. Topics range from water security to reuse to workforce to research to policy to wastewater treatment technology. To help navigate this range of topics, WEF has grouped them into “tracks” that can be found online or in the mobile app
The WEFTEC program also includes a variety of knowledge levels so there is something for people who are new to the water sector as well as for water professionals with more than 50 years’ experience. An entire track of educational opportunities covers the fundamentals. And the opposite end of the knowledge-level offers advanced information intended to move cutting-edge topics forward in the water sector. Many advanced topics are presented in “knowledge development forums,” which is a format that allows participants to join world-renowned experts for lively debate and discussion about the focus needed to direct the topic in the future. ![]() Water professionals of different backgrounds and experience levels attend a technical session at WEFTEC 2017.

You may be among a handful of experts on a topic in one session but a novice at another session. The event allows attendees to jump between education levels to suit personal preference and expertise. ![]() A panel of speakers discuss nondispersibles in wastewater treatment systems in the Global Center during WEFTEC 2017.

Whether you need to learn about small, rural systems, the largest systems in the world, or something in between, WEFTEC has hundreds of options. Some events are targeted for different professionals within the water sector including operators, technicians, engineers, or utility leaders. And topics also cover differing industries, such as oil and gas, mining, and food and beverage. Attendees also can choose to sit in on a session that showcases a problem and solution from a different perspective than their own profession, employer, or industry. Offering a learning experience for everyone![]() WEFTEC 2017 attendees learn by watching videos during an Interactive Knowledge Exchange session. Photo courtesy of Oscar & Associates. The WEF Program Committee also has ensured attendees have a variety of ways to learn. Volunteers spend time and effort to keep up with advances in education and to learn how to help adults better retain knowledge. They make sure the program incorporates many different styles of education, from discussion groups to lectures to hands-on activities to panel discussions to mobile sessions to video-based “Interactive Knowledge Exchanges (IKEs). This ensures attendees have options for events to attend that meet their learning needs. Many other organizations work with the committee to bring the best information from their members, events, and stakeholders to WEFTEC. Get exposed to these other groups and expand your horizons to learn information you might not have time to see elsewhere.
