The North Country Convention was a great success! Thank you to Northern Maine Community College for welcoming us to their beautiful school; to the exhibitors and sponsors who made our event possible; the presenters who enthusiastically volunteered their time and expertise; the MEWEA Collection System Committee for a fun-filled cornhole competition; and, most of all, the water and wastewater operators who attended this event. See you in spring 2025!
The North Country Convention (NCC) is held biennually in Presque Isle, Maine and is a 2-day educational event and trade show designed for wastwater and drinking water operators.
This conference is held in "The County" to complement similar annual events offered by Maine Water Environment Association (MEWEA) and Maine Water Utilites Association (MWUA). Since those events generally take place in the southern region of the state, the NCC is designed to bring the benefits of those events to the people of northern Maine.
The 2-day agenda features a variety of technical sessions, exhibitor interaction, luncheon speakers, and opportunities to network with others. Each day offers 6 training contact hours for water and wastewater operators. Participation in the entire conference offers 12 hours of training.
