T
he 2021 PWTAG Virtual Conference will take place on Wednesday March 3rd and will
focus on sharing experience and knowledge in the Covid-19 era. The conference theme will revolve
around the one issue that has dominated our lives for the past year. And that applies to pools and spas of course.
The open and close goalposts
continue to move. Either way we must be prepared; we need to learn the lessons of the last year and be ready to face the challenges of the next few years. That’s what PWTAG’s virtual
conference is about. Our online technical notes cover a lot of the ground, but on Wednesday March 3rd an international cast of experts will present on many aspects of the Covid-19 threat. And there will be opportunity for questions, answers and discussion.
The all-day conference will be
of value to pool operators and managers, environmental health
officers, public health practitioners, aquatic physiotherapists, scientists and policymakers. Find out how they’re facing the challenge in the US, Italy, Netherlands, Greece and Germany. The conference will be hosted live,
the presentations recorded in advance. In the afternoon there will be ample opportunity for delegates to share their experiences and interact with the speakers and each other in four parallel breakout sessions:
• Public health risk assessment • Management and use of pool chemicals
• Cleaning and disinfection of the environment, equipment and surfaces
• Ventilation The conference will finish with a
plenary session where delegates can ask questions of the speakers and PWTAG council members. Recordings of presentations and discussion sessions will be available to delegates online after the meeting.
