Municipal Forums

The Municipal Forum program is sponsored by the TTC and the Industry Advisory Board (IAB). The forums are one-day events and are offered to employees of any municipality, county, or utility, and to consultants working on behalf of municipalities. They allow end users to exchange ideas, discuss mutual problems, and form networks of support for underground asset management issues. The program initiated in 1998 and over the years, the forums have been held regularly in various locations in North America. The layout is arranged around a one-day meeting schedule (typically 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM) that allows most participants to travel to and from on the meeting day. The TTC invites speakers to give presentations on topics requested by the host utility. Often presented are details and lessons learned from completed case studies. Field demos can be part of program, but are scheduled by request. Forums end with a closed session attended only by the public employees where they can freely discuss issues. Costs start from $75 for municipal employees, which includes breakfast/lunch/refreshments, handouts, and CEUs.

Recommend Topic or Present

If you would like to recommend a topic for presentation or present at an upcoming forum, please email ttc@coes.latech.edu and specify the forum location, topic/title, and your contact information (name, company, phone, email, plus bio if presenting). The TTC makes the selection of presentations for each forum based on several parameters. The most important factors are the input from the municipal participants and their preferences for topics. Other important selection parameters are the technical content, the quality, and the degree of product branding in the presentation.
