Fall 2019 Symposium
November 4-6, 2019 - Denver, CO
SAME Denver Post is holding the third DCHWS-West Symposium in Denver, CO,. This event is designed to encourage dialogue and information sharing on design and construction issues relevant to hazardous waste sites in the western United States.
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 conferences in terms of format and spirit.
