During the 2026 ASPE Convention & Expo in Oklahoma City this fall, industry experts will present dynamic technical education sessions designed to increase the skills and career opportunities of attendees. In addition, each session provides 0.125 CEUs for your licensing and certification requirements.
The technical education sessions are geared toward professionals at all skill levels, and they are presented in five tracks, allowing you the ability to mix and match or follow one track depending on your interests. The tracks are:
- Healthcare
- Fire Protection & More
- Water Quality
- System Design
- Codes & Standards
Highlights of the Technical Education Program include the following:
- Back by popular demand is the fourth edition of “Bringing Medical Gas System Design into the 21st Century,” an audience-driven roundtable with Mark Allen, Mathis Carlson, and Jonathan Willard, LEED AP, who will explore developments in medical gases and provide insights to take into your next medical client interactions.
- NICET Level III-certified fire sprinkler expert Shaun Kramer will review the challenges encountered when protecting data centers and explore current protection schemes and how each may be applicable in “Evolution of Data Center Fire Protection.”
- “Legionella Mitigation Strategies for a Hospital,” presented by Jeremy Williams, PE, ASSE 6060, will review a real-world case study that demonstrates how embedding water safety risk mitigation into early design and construction improves system resilience, reduces contamination risk, and establishes a sustainable foundation for long‑term waterborne pathogen control.
- Frequent ASPE speaker Brian Soderholm will explain how intelligent booster systems are transforming the delivery of reliable water pressure in modern commercial and healthcare facilities, highlighting next-generation features such as external sensor integration, automated equipment control, and emergency backup capabilities.
- Jonathan Farr takes a deep dive into the engineering design and real-world implementation of onsite graywater, black water, and rainwater reuse systems in “Closing the Loop: An Engineer’s Guide to Onsite Water Reuse System Design and Compliance.”
- Other compelling sessions will detail design requirements for a variety of plumbing systems and components including laboratory gases, heat pump water heaters, flow-through expansion tanks, reverse osmosis, master mixing valves, wastewater pumps, and more.
