The conference, appropriately, will begin with “The Star-Spangled Banner” being played on fife and drum.

Former NBA all-star Mark Eaton, a 12-year veteran with the Utah Jazz, will deliver the keynote address. Eaton has transitioned from the NBA to become a successful entrepreneur, TV and radio talk show host, and world-class speaker, trainer, and coach.

Dain Hansen, IAPMO’s Senior Vice President of Government Affairs and the Managing Director of the International Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (IWSH) Foundation, will deliver a presentation on this month’s Navajo Nation Community Plumbing Challenge. Set for Oct. 22-26 in Thoreau, New Mexico, the collaboration with DigDeep will provide about 10 households with access to clean water and improved sanitation.

In addition to top-notch educational seminars, code workshops, industry expo, and invaluable networking opportunities, conference goers will have the opportunity to participate in the Assembly Consideration Session toward development of the 2021 editions of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC^®) and Uniform Mechanical Code (UMC^®).
