The International Erosion Control Assn. (IECA) opened registration for its annual conference and expo, Environmental Connection 2011 (EC11). Interested parties can visit IECA's website for details on full-day courses, shorter technical sessions, special events and the exhibit hall. EC11 will take place at Disney's Coronado Springs Resort in Orlando, Fla., Feb. 20 to 23.

Each year, hundreds of industry professionals are educated through the full-day, intensive training courses and shorter technical sessions, which consist of half-day sessions, case studies, research papers, forums and workshops. Topics range from treating turbidity on construction sites to BMP selection and implementation to shoreline stabilization and restoration.
