Industrial cleaning service providers are under pressure to deliver safe and efficient work while navigating the challenges of retaining a skilled workforce and maintaining a culture of excellence.
Bringing together contractors, asset owners and solutions providers is key to achieving outstanding cleaning outcomes.
For more than 40 years, the WaterJet Technology Association (WJTA) has set the standard for best practices and operator training in professional waterjetting and vacuum work. Its flagship event, the WJTA Conference & Expo, returns November 5-7 in New Orleans, bringing together all stakeholders to tackle challenges and explore solutions.
A highlight of the program is the Waterjet Technology Basics and Beyond Short Course on November 5. The Basics and Beyond program continues the popular recent installments of the course with an expert faculty from industry and academia. The course introduces the basics of equipment, applications and safety and covers more in-depth topics including industrial cleaning, cold cutting, hydrodemolition and sewer cleaning. The short course is suitable for new users and asset owners with little background in the industry, but even highly experienced industry professionals will find valuable takeaways from the course.
The main program opens on the morning of November 6 with a new kickoff and awards ceremony prior to the opening of the hall. This brief meeting will give participants a chance to hear updates on the latest projects at WJTA and weigh in on association activities and industry needs.
Automation, advanced PPE and advanced vacuum equipment make the job less hazardous, and WJTA attendees can evaluate the latest systems hands-on in the exhibit hall. Expert representatives from vendors and contractors can answer questions and provide insight on specific applications. As a highly focused event for waterjetting, vacuum and industrial cleaning, the WJTA Conference & Expo is an ideal opportunity for attendees to expand their networks and grow their connections.

The technical program continues on November 6-7 with a boot camp session offering practical insights for all attendees, as well as technical research and whitepapers from industry and academia.
The conference also includes a popular series of asset owner sessions. Asset owners — representatives from facilities where waterjetting and vacuuming services are performed — are truly the end users of industrial cleaning technology. Given the importance of industrial cleaning on plant downtime and production, as well as the potential hazards, it is critical for asset owners to stay active and informed.
Whether you’re a service provider, asset owner, supplier, engineer, staffing firm, academic or other professional, the WJTA Conference & Expo offers unmatched opportunities to learn, connect and lead in this vital industry.
