Agenda and Conference Materials:

DMUC Remote Access:

We realize that some individuals may be unable to travel to participate, so ASDWA is offering remote access to the presented materials and live conference audio via webinar.

If you are interested in attending, we ask that you register for one or all the sessions below. There are nine webinars scheduled for Eastern Time. You may register once for all sessions using our online form [https://form.jotform.com/ASDWA/dmuc-24-remote-session-access] or register for each session you wish to attend by using the individual links below each session title. All plenary 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.

If you previously registered as an in-person attendee using ASDWA’s online form but do not plan to attend in person, please let us know for planning purposes.

By registering as a remote attendee, you agree to “skate at your own risk,” as ASDWA staff may be unable to provide technical support during the sessions. Due to unknown technical factors [i.e., hotel internet crashes, equipment failures, etc.], ASDWA cannot guarantee that we’ll successfully broadcast every scheduled session. If we need to cancel a broadcast, 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.

DMUC Social

We’re very excited to host this year’s DMUC social at Escape Room Live Alexandria! We have 38 seats reserved in four game rooms for Tuesday, September 10 from 7 – 8 pm ET. Based on interest, we can add additional rooms – if we do, those games will take place following the first round and will run from 8 – 9 pm ET.

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the games, there are no spectator seats – this event is for players only! Also due to the limited number of seats, we’re opening up the signups to states and EPA first…so reserve your space now! Please select the Wait List option if you are non-state/EPA or if all available seats are sold out when completing the form.

SIGN UP NOW: https://form.jotform.com/ASDWA/dmuc-2024-social-registration-form

Onsite Technical Support and Consultation for SDWIS Systems:

Based on positive feedback, ASDWA and EPA will arrange a Tech Support and Consult room 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.
If you are interested in scheduling time to speak with one of the available contractors, please indicate your interest during registration or contact Anthony DeRosa at ASDWA for more information.

Limited Travel Support for States – Submissions Due June 30, 2024:

ASDWA has limited funds to support state travel to this meeting. In an effort to provide as much assistance to as many individuals as possible, ASDWA will only provide reimbursement for hotel, airfare and transportation costs. Meals will not be reimbursed for this year.
Approval Timelines: 
  • Submit your travel estimate by June 30.
  • ASDWA will make the first round of determinations by July 12th.
  • After the first round, any remaining funds will be available to support additional staff on a first come, first serve basis.

If you have trouble with these deadlines or have any special circumstances related to travel, please get in touch with Anthony DeRosa so we can work to try to meet your needs.

Please note the following if you request travel support:
  • There is a $150 registration fee for this event. This administrative fee does not qualify for reimbursement.
  • ASDWA will prioritize support for one staff person per state until all funds are reserved. If you submit requests for multiple individuals from your program, please indicate who should receive priority consideration in the notes.
  • Ensure you have approval from your program Administrator to attend the meeting. A copy of your approval will be shared with your primacy agency Administrator.
  • Before submission, you will be asked to confirm you have read ASDWA’s Reimbursement Policy. Please take this important step, so you know what will and will not be covered. A copy is linked to the submission form and online here: ASDWA-Reimbursement-Policy.pdf
  • After travel, you must complete an ASDWA Travel Expense Reimbursement Form (jotform.com) ASDWA will process reimbursements within 30 days of submission.
