The future of the portable sanitation industry is being shaped by strong leaders, innovative thinkers, and passionate professionals, and many of them are gathering once again at the Satellite Women's Conference (SWC).

As we kick off another exciting year, we're proud to welcome women from across the industry for an event dedicated to education, leadership, networking, and personal development. What began as an ambitious idea has grown into one of the portable sanitation industry's most anticipated annual events, bringing together owners, managers, decision-makers, technicians, office professionals, and emerging leaders from companies of every size.

A Conference Built on Connection

When the first Satellite Women's Conference launched in 2018, nearly 60 women representing 40 companies took a leap of faith by participating in the industry's first women-only professional conference. The vision was simple: create a space where women could learn from one another, build meaningful relationships, and strengthen both their personal and professional skills.

That vision has flourished.

Over the past eight years, SWC has grown into a thriving community that has traveled across the country, from Minneapolis and Scottsdale to Nashville, San Diego, Austin, Leesburg, and Denver, welcoming more attendees each year while preserving the supportive atmosphere that makes the event so special. Now entering its ninth year, Satellite looks forward to welcoming approximately 200 women from an even broader audience.

More Than a Trade Show

While many industry events focus primarily on products and business transactions, the Satellite Women's Conference is centered on people.

SWC combines educational sessions, leadership development, networking, and personal growth into an experience that extends far beyond the event itself. Attendees leave with fresh ideas, practical business strategies, stronger professional connections, and a network of peers they can rely on throughout the year.

Whether someone is launching a new portable sanitation business, managing a growing operation, leading an established organization, or supporting customers behind the scenes, the conference offers valuable insights for every stage of a career.

Empowering Women Across the Industry

The portable sanitation industry continues to evolve, creating more opportunities than ever for women to lead.

Today, women serve in virtually every role, from ownership and executive leadership to operations, sales, service, customer support, marketing, finance, and field management. SWC celebrates those achievements while providing an environment where attendees can continue building the knowledge, confidence, and leadership skills needed to succeed.

Perhaps most importantly, the conference creates a welcoming space where women can openly share experiences, exchange ideas, and encourage one another in an industry that has traditionally been male-dominated.

As one attendee shared:

"The Satellite Women's Conference has brought all of us closer and let us feel non-vulnerable in a male-dominated industry."

Another participant described SWC as offering exceptional speakers, invaluable insights, and an empowering atmosphere that makes attending each year "truly priceless."

Building Relationships That Last

One of SWC's greatest strengths is the lasting community it creates.

Many attendees return year after year, not only for the educational content, but also for the friendships and professional connections they've built along the way. Those relationships continue well beyond the conference, creating opportunities for collaboration, mentorship, and business growth throughout the portable sanitation industry.

That enduring sense of community is what makes the Satellite Women's Conference unlike any other industry event and continues to inspire both first-time and returning attendees.

Looking Ahead

As the Satellite Women's Conference begins another incredible year, we're excited to welcome both familiar faces and first-time attendees who are ready to learn, grow, and build meaningful connections.

The portable sanitation industry is strongest when knowledge is shared, ideas are exchanged, and leaders support one another. Together, we're shaping a future driven by innovation, collaboration, and opportunity, and we're proud to celebrate the remarkable women helping lead the way.

Here's to another unforgettable Satellite Women's Conference and another year of inspiring, empowering, and celebrating the women who continue to shape the future of portable sanitation.
