UV Solutions
The International UV Association is hosting the first International Conference on UV Disinfection for Air and Surfaces (ICUDAS) on Dec. 8-9, 2020. The vision for this virtual conference is to bring together industry leaders involved in all aspects of air and surface UV disinfection to spur communication and networking.
An exciting technological feature of this online conference is that the presentations from internationally recognized speakers will move seamlessly into multiple “table” breakout sessions. These breakout tables will include Q&A sessions with the presenters, exhibitor displays and many other networking opportunities.
There also will be special features designed by the IUVA’s Young Professionals group to welcome newcomers to the field.
