The Nebraska Section American Water Works Association Asset Management for Nebraska Operators Workshop is provided FREE of charge as the Pre-Conference training associated with the 2025 APWA, AWWA, NWEA SWANA, Joint Fall Conference at the Younes Conference Center North in Kearney, NE.

In the Asset Management Workshops, you will learn about how asset management can benefit your system. Not sure where to begin? The workshop will provide you with the tools you need to get started and presenters will walk you through the process.

Asset Management can help you solve these problems, and more.
