StormCon: Looking Ahead to 2016

This week many of us from Stormwater magazine—and many of you, our readers—are at StormCon in Austin, TX. It’s turning out to be one of our biggest conferences.

I want to send a big thank you to all of our conference attendees, speakers, exhibitors, and sponsors, and particularly to one group of volunteers who help us out tremendously—the session moderators. Thanks especially to those of you who are moderating in more than one session, and to the many who’ve been volunteering their time year after year!
