The in-person event in Bethesda, Maryland is over.
Tickets for the On-Demand program are no longer available (1/6/2022)
Now in the 35th year, AARST demonstrates long term stewardship, providing its accredited professionals with the tools and education to be leaders in the soil gas industry.
What a symposium is all about…
To stay up to date on all the ANSI/AARST national consensus standards that are utilized by numerous federal and state agencies, such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The ANSI/AARST accredited standards include processes, procedures and quality assurance systems to ensure standardized approaches for measurement and mitigation of soil gases in existing and new homes, schools, large and multi-family buildings.
Learn the newest testing and mitigation techniques by exploring all the latest products and technology. Deepen your knowledge in the industry by acquiring business specific resources to elevate your business. Additionally, certified and licensed professionals can earn Continuing Education credits.
The symposium features the largest soil gas exhibition hall featuring vendors from around the globe, displaying the newest in technology for soil gas testing and remediation, and agency partners specializing in communication and advocacy.
Below is the emtire agenda for the in-person symposium.
