Spring 2022 Symposium
March 30-April 1, 2022 - Philadelphia, PA
The applications of engineering and science associated with cleaning up hazardous waste sites continue to evolve rapidly. Our goal is to facilitate an interactive engagement between professionals from government and the private sector related to relevant and topical issues affecting our field. We will make every effort to mirror all aspects of past symposiums in terms of format and spirit. As a Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) event, our intent is to waive registration fees for government employees.
