As an active member of NHA I’m attending Clean Currents to hear from key leaders, network, share with and learn from others about our industry’s hot topics and discuss the latest technology with experts on the exhibit floor.”

“When I started going to NHA conferences, I went almost exclusively for the content. Over time, I realized that the content is what brings us together, but the most valuable aspect of the conference is the networking that happens around the content. Many times, I solved problems or made valuable new connections with colleagues from elsewhere in the industry during the breaks between the sessions that I never would have made, but not for getting together in person.
The content is great, by itself.
The content brings us together.
The greatest value comes not from the content, but from being together.”
Alvin Thoma
Retired from PG&E
