"The Roundtable provides valuable educational insight for those with a stake in utility locating. Listening in on discussions by seasoned industry professionals with diverse experiences and opinions transports you right to the field without having to leave your seat, and you walk away feeling more informed than before you arrived."

The Roundtable has proven to be a unique event where numerous, diverse stakeholder groups are encouraged to share thoughts and ideas regarding the challenges and direction of damage prevention throughout the United States and beyond. The information, discussions, and networking opportunities offered not only assist with assessing our current state, but provide pathways toward growth and development of our safety, technical, and service programs of tomorrow.

The "Roundtable" is the one event that brings all of the various stakeholders together to find out what is, what could be, and what should be with respect to excavating and damage prevention within the underground infrastructure industry. This isn't a "preaching to the choir" event. Each participant brings a unique history, past practices, and forward-looking ideas to the event and throws them out to the others for feedback, push-back and ah-ha moments.

"It was a great event and I found the format and flow very effective. It was a great experience, and a good opportunity to hear from other folks in the industry on challenges many of us face. I will definitely be attending again next year."

"I almost feel like one of the founding fathers trying to establish a republic for the people by the people."

"What a great event! And you pulled it off by gaining participation from so many of the utility excavation stakeholders."
