SDWIS Modernization Data Model – the Immersive Experience:
OK, maybe not exactly “immersive,” but all day Monday and Tuesday the draft/proposed SDWIS Modernization Data Model will be on display in Washington I and II rooms – right next door to the main conference room. Wall-sized prints of the Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD) will be available for review and Team Systalex staff will be available for ad hoc discussions/questions on the ERD. Attendees are welcome to browse the space during networking breaks. …next year, we’ll roll out the VR helmets!
SDWIS Social at Bowlero:
This year’s SDWIS Social is at Bowlero on Tuesday evening from 7:30-9:30 PM ET. Join the SDWIS Community for a fun evening of apps, drinks and bowling! Players and spectators are asked to RSVP by emailing Anthony DeRosa at aderosa@asdwa. Please indicate whether you intend to play or just hang out.
Onsite Technical Support and Consultation for SDWIS Systems:
ASDWA and EPA arranged to have a Tech Support and Consult room, located in the Monroe Room, available throughout the Conference to provide on-site user support and consultation for all current SDWIS systems. The contractors (Systalex and The Group) will be available to provide technical assistance, document technical issues, and work to resolve these issues directly with the user.
This includes support for:
- SDWIS/State Software
- SDWIS/XML Sampling
- SDWIS/Lab to State
- SDWIS/Migrate to State
- SDWIS Bridge
- Drinking Water Watch
- SDWIS FedRep
- Fed Production Control
- SDWIS ODS
- SDWIS Reporting Services
- Access to SDWIS Fed Production Control or SDWIS Fed Reporting Services
If you are interested in scheduling time to speak with one of the available contractors, please speak with Renee Morris (EPA) or Anthony DeRosa (ASDWA).
Remote Access to Sessions:
ASDWA has scheduled a series of webinars that will take place during the 2022 DMUC. Our goal is to provide access to the presented materials and live conference audio [both the presenters and discussion coming from the audience], in a real-time environment.
We ask that you register for one or more of the scheduled sessions below by COB Friday, September 16, although you may register at any time leading up to the start of the broadcast. All webinars are scheduled for Eastern Time – you will have the option to adjust the time zone when you register. There are a total of eight sessions. You may submit a single registration form to sign up for all [https://form.jotform.com/ASDWA/dmuc-22–remote-session-access], or use the links below to register for each session you wish to attend. All sessions will be recorded and shared after the Conference for later review. If any of the links below are broken, try to copy/paste the URLs into your browser.
IMPORTANT: By registering as a remote attendee you are agreeing to “skate at your own risk”, as ASDWA staff may be unable to provide any level of technical support during the sessions. Due to unknown technical factors [i.e., hotel internet crashes, equipment failures, etc.], ASDWA cannot guarantee that we’ll be successful in broadcasting every scheduled session. In the event we need to cancel a session, we will try to contact all registrants to inform them. Naturally, we’ll do our best to provide a quality experience for the entire Conference and thank you ahead of time for your understanding.
