The Premiere East Coast Damage Prevention Event Returns for its 5th Year – Oct. 23-25 in Ocean City, MD!
Since its launch in 2009, the Greater Chesapeake Damage Prevention Training Conference (GCDPTC), hosted by title sponsors Miss Utility of Delmarva, Miss Utility of Maryland and District One Call, has established itself as THE event on the East Coast for facility operators, locators, excavators, regulators, engineers and all other professionals who work near underground facilities.
The combination of informative training sessions, relevant exhibitors and networking opportunities has caused registration to increase every year, up to nearly 340 attendees in 2012.
This year the GCDPTC returns to its original spot on the schedule, Wednesday, Oct. 23 through Friday, Oct. 25, once again at the Clarion Resort Fontainebleau Hotel in Ocean City, Md.
