2026 Agenda: 2026 KY/TN Water Professionals Conference

CEU / PDH INFORMATION

Each technical session qualifies for a specific type of CEU (DW, WW, and/or TNUB) and PDH. Details on specific sessions is shared in our Technical Program once published.

Onsite, we use technology designed for conferences like ours to scan individual participants into sessions they attend, linking their CEUs and PDH directly to their conference profile. A transcript is then shared with attendees after WPC each year that outlines all sessions attended along with the hours and types of credit each one carries.

If you have any questions about CEU/PDH at WPC26 or need a transcript from a past conference, please send us an email.
