General Session

Mold Remediation – Panel Presentation

During a general session presentation, NIA will assemble a panel discussion on mold remediation to discuss the impact that the mold issue is having on each of our industry segments. Experts from the manufacturing sector, contractor sector, the science field and legal field will be on hand to share their knowledge.

Presentation of Technical Papers

Once again, the Technical Information Committee is coordinating the technical paper presentations. These papers go through a review and approval process by the committee and will be submitted to NIA’s annual convention for presentation. It is the goal of the authors to provide the most current and accurate information on the topics that are presented to better inform and educate the industry. The text of the presentations will be available to the session attendees. Many of the papers being considered will focus on the mold and mildew issues facing our industry today.
