SWANA seeks diversion innovation presentations

The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA), Silver Spring, Maryland, has issued a call for proposed presentations to be made at its SOAR (Sustainability Operations Action Resources) event in 2023.

The 2023 edition of SOAR, which has a tagline of “Technical Solutions for Resource Management,” will take place April 17-20 in Atlanta.

SWANA Technical Divisions Manager Natalie Garcia has invited interested parties to submit a proposal for a presentation via a video clip emailed to SWANA members.

“Delivering practical solutions to the solid waste industry’s most difficult problems, SOAR showcases the promising technologies, ideas and solutions that transform waste into a resource,” the organization says.

Calling it SWANA’s “premier technical conference,” the group says SOAR has been designed to connect “experts and problem solvers in industry-changing conversations about [their] most complex challenges.”

SWANA says in its email to members, it “welcomes your novel ideas, approaches, and solutions for addressing our industry’s pressing issues. Your proposal should spark debate, learning, and innovation; envision a future that promotes waste as a resource; and show participants a way to get there.”
