Spring 2024 DCHWS

Please be advised of spoofing campaigns using the SAME Philadelphia Post name. Only events received through emails or links from our Post and DCHWS websites are sponsored by the SAME Philadelphia Post. Questions? Reach out to us. 

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 the 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 SAME event, registration fees will be covered by private sector sponsorships and registration fees. The registration fee is being waived for government employees.
