ORWA has received approval from ODEQ to implement a new training event exclusive to the upcoming Expo. During this event, known as the “training demo,” attendees will have the option to rotate between select vendor booths for four, 15 minute demonstrations. These demonstrations combined will count as credit for one hour of renewal training. Due to space and time restraints, the vendor participation will be limited. If your company is interested in participating in this event, please select “yes” in the options above to be contacted with more information. To increase participation, we encourage you to bring promotional items and conduct contests at your demonstration area. In order for ORWA to schedule and promote your event, please let us know if you have special activities planned. The Expo is geared toward hands-on demonstrations and training, therefore the more activities taking place at your booth, the more exposure your company will receive.
