In 2025, the WPI Innovation in Certification conference (IiC25) is set to make a splash in The Big Easy! Mark your calendars for January 14 – 17, 2025, as we convene in the vibrant city of New Orleans, Louisiana.
New Orleans has been surrounded and defined by water since it was established more than 300 years ago on the banks of the lower Mississippi River. What a perfect place to hold a conference for water professionals!
This enchanting island city promises an unforgettable experience with its distinctive blend of music, Creole cuisine, unique dialects, and its fusion of French & Spanish architecture. From the spirited nightlife of Bourbon Street to the historic NOLA heart of the French Quarter, attendees will find endless entertainment options to enjoy while they unwind after each day’s sessions.

Annually at IiC, WPI assembles a diverse array of participants, including regulators, certifying authorities, trainers, operators, and industry technology providers. This integration fosters a deep dive into the latest innovations within the water sector. The conference kicks off on Tuesday, January 14th, with the Trainers Workshop. Every year this daylong session features renowned industry experts who share training best practices and innovative strategies for boosting learner engagement and retention.
The subsequent three days will be packed with inspirational keynote speeches, intriguing interactive activities, standardized testing updates, and special presentations. Each session aims to enrich the conference by exploring topics beyond the fundamentals of certification. Past IiC conferences have tackled a variety of critical issues, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), mental well-being, cybersecurity, retirement strategies, and real-world tools for thriving in your career. These discussions encourage and inspire participants to gain new insights into their professions, lives, and communities.
Join us at IiC25 for an unparalleled opportunity to forge new partnerships, strengthen industry connections, and stay abreast of the latest trends and insights in the world of water.
