Satellite Industries and PolyPortables, a division of Satellite, is announcing a new conference for members of the portable sanitation industry. The inaugural Satellite Women’s Conference is set for Oct. 15-16 at the Radisson Blu Hotel located in the Mall of America in Minneapolis.

The conference will feature guest speakers, practical workshops and a mix of entertainment, according to a spokesperson from Satellite Industries. “With so many remarkable women who own, operate, and manage businesses in our industry, it will be an event full of insight and inspiration.
