3 Reasons not to Miss IECA’s 40th Birthday Bash!
- IT’S FREE FOR ATTENDEES! Tickets to the Birthday Bash are included with every full-conference registration. That’s entry to the industry’s can’t-miss event of the year at no additional cost.
- GO OUT WITH A BANG! The Birthday Bash will be THE place to end your conference experience. Say farewell to new business contacts and old colleagues as you wrap your week up at the world’s largest soil and water event.
- DID WE MENTION CASH PRIZES? IECA will be giving out $4,000 in cash! Even if the gaming tables weren’t kind to you, you can still leave Las Vegas a winner. Twelve lucky attendees will be walking away with $250 in cash, and one attendee will win the top prize of $1,000. Those are some great odds!
When you’re planning your itinerary, make sure you stay until the end of the conference. IECA has secured rooms on Wednesday night at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino to ensure that everyone attending the Birthday Bash can remain on the property and still receive IECA’s great room rates. The party of the year will commence on Wednesday afternoon after the exhibit hall closes and education sessions end. There’s no excuse not to be there!
