Agenda Overview

Mock Trial

When a utility damage leads to an investigation, every decision, document, and action is scrutinized. In this engaging mock deposition, attorneys Jim Proszek and Tony Jorgenson reveal how "reasonable care" is evaluated and what excavators need to know before they're ever questioned under oath.

Learn what documents matter most, how to strengthen your documentation practices, and what to expect after a damage event.

Network. Play. Win!

Make connections, have fun, and earn chances to win prizes throughout the day. Participate in prize drawings during lunch and happy hour, or take on the Codebreaker Challenge by visiting all 20 exhibitors, collecting clues, and solving the secret phrase for a chance to win a Milwaukee toolbox grand prize. Try your luck at mini golf, test your knowledge with Giant Jenga trivia, identify utility-related items in the "What's Below?" Mystery Box, or showcase your skills in the Precision Excavation & Truck Race.
