It’s a new year. Marty McFly came to the future three months ago. Now it’s your turn.

The 2016 Water & Wastewater Equipment, Treatment & Transport (WWETT) Show is your ticket to the future of this industry. The trucks and equipment on display at the WWETT Show can push your business just as far forward in time as Doc Brown’s DeLorean.

This year’s show is slated for Feb. 17-20 at the Indiana Convention Center in downtown Indianapolis. It’ll be my fifth time in Indy, and I’m looking forward to it as always. I remember the trucks rolling in and the show floor taking shape leading up to that first show. It was impressive to see it all come together. I was even more impressed by some of the people I met, and that’s what continues to make it most interesting to me.

The WWETT Show is like all of our publications rolled into one and brought to life at the Indiana Convention Center. Everything you read about in these pages is there, from the trucks and tools to the people and perspectives.

There are so many stories walking around on the floor, new stories every year. So many people who’ve worked hard to carve out their place in the industry. So many different forms of success. So much insight. It’s fun to hear those stories. It provides perspective on how the industry has grown and gives me a glimpse of what future issues of Cleaner will hold.  

The WWETT Show is also full of opportunities for your business. From the moment you leave your hotel room to the very end of the night, in the elevator on the way down to the lobby, at breakfast, on the walk to the convention center and all throughout the day, you’ll have no problem striking up conversations with your peers. So take advantage. The insight you gain could make all the difference for your business.

Oh, and there’s also some pretty cool trucks, and all the latest tools and technology to make you more effective and efficient on the job. From hand tools to hydroexcavators, it’s all there.

You’ll find a preview of the show in this issue of Cleaner. From Education Day to the Industry Appreciation Party, and all the tools and trucks in between, there’s a lot to see and do.

If you haven’t registered or begun planning your time in Indy, visit wwettshow.com for all the information you’ll need. It’s a great way to help build your business, and there’s plenty of fun to be had, too.

And while you’re at the show, feel free to track me down. I’d like to hear what you have to say about the show, the magazine, and most importantly, the work you’re doing and how you’re moving your business forward. After all, that’s a goal we both share.

I hope I see you at the show. It’s the future of this industry.
