World of Coal Ash 2022
WOCA Mail List and 3rd Party Hotel Scams
WOCA friends and colleagues: There are two organizations out there trying to take advantage of the WOCA brand. One group is selling fake attendee lists. The other is trying to get prospective WOCA attendees to reserve hotel rooms through their website. Both of these are scams. We never sell our attendee list, and the only way to reserve a room for WOCA is through our official reservation site (located on this website).

BB Riverboats
(Wednesday Off-Site Reception)
As WOCA winds down each year, the WOCA Off-Site Reception is always a highlight. And this year’s event promises to be one for the ages.
WOCA attendees will have a chance to cruise along the Ohio River on BB Riverboats. Enjoy great food, an open bar, and live music on one of the most unique settings in the Midwest.
Whether you want to hear a live band or enjoy conversations with WOCA friends in a beautiful, natural setting, the 2022 off-site reception promises to be a terrific time.
BB Riverboats will pick up WOCA attendees just a few steps outside of the Northern Kentucky Convention Center at Covington Landing. The boat ramp is located between the Embassy Suites Cincinnati Rivercenter and Cincinnati Marriott Rivercenter.
Boarding begins at 6 p.m. with a dinner buffet. Anyone choosing not to stay for the cruise will depart the boat at 7:15 p.m. The boat will depart dock at 7:30 p.m. for a cruise along the Ohio River and will return at 9:30 p.m.
