Thank you to all who attended SUMMIT 2020 and made it a huge success!
For the first time in over 20 years, the Texas Recycling Summit and the Texas Composting Summit was held as one huge conference — the Texas Recycling and Composting Summit — and held virtually!
The result was fantastic, and we could not have done it without our wonderful attendees, amazing speakers, and great sponsors and exhibitors! (See them below.)
We will be in Corpus Christi for SUMMIT 2021 (depending on Covid-19)! We'll see you there!
We offered 20.5 hours of CEUs from TCEQ!
Summit was moved to an all-virtual event for the safety of our members, staff, and all participants. STAR used a top-notch virtual conference platform that enables face-to-face exhibitor and attendee interactions, live and pre-recorded videos, live networking events, and more. We also held the annual auction, raffles and a Wine and Beer Tasting Event virtually!
This year's theme, "Rethinking Recycling," was selected by the STAR Board of Directors pre-pandemic, but is now more fitting than ever with the current changes the industry has experienced.
Summit 2020 brought together over 300+ industry professionals from schools, cities, businesses, and NGOs to collaborate, educate, and network virtually. We had over 30 exhibitors in our virtual Exhibit Hall, held a great kick-off celebration on Oct. 5th, and STAR's annual Texas Environmental Leadership Awards (TELA) was live online Oct. 7th!
