Welcome to the WM Symposia website!
The annual Waste Management Conference, presented by WM Symposia (WMS), is widely regarded as the premier international conference for the management of radioactive material and related topics. WMS is a non-profit corporation dedicated to education and opportunity in waste management. It was founded to provide a forum for discussing and seeking cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions to the safe management and disposition of radioactive waste and radioactive materials.
The annual WM conference attracts approximately 2,000 persons from throughout the world and provides significant opportunities for networking, professional growth and education - as well as business opportunities. This conference is attended by decision makers, project managers, and technical and procurement specialists representing the government and private organizations undertaking the global tasks of radioactive material management, decommissioning and site remediation.
WM2010, the conference’s 36th year, is expected to attract representatives from over 40 countries, presenting more than 400 papers in over 80 technical sessions. WM2010 will be held March 7 - 11, 2010 at the Phoenix Convention Center's West Building.
