For the 2021 CGA Conference & Expo, we believe that will be true more than ever before. CGA’s connection to 1,700 members year-round, combined with its reputation as the preeminent source for damage prevention Best Practices and education, will make the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld the place to be the October 2021.”

    PRESIDENT, ELM COMPANIES

  • "CGA is the go-to organization for excavators to collaborate with our fellow partners in damage prevention to address the real-world problems and obstacles surrounding damage prevention protocols. Without CGA’s leadership, excavating would be less safe than it is today. From CGA’s new initiatives focused on taking damage prevention to the next level and to engaging roundtables that include the excavator perspective and input, we are looking forward to rolling up our sleeves in Orlando and digging into the future of damage prevention alongside CGA’s committed members."

    JOHN FLUHARTY, CGA DIRECTOR
    EXCAVATOR QUANTA SERVICES, INC.

  • "CGA is built to serve all 16 damage prevention stakeholder groups, which makes it the ideal organizer for the 2021 CGA Conference & Expo -- an event all stakeholders will want to attend. CGA’s 20-year track record in bringing stakeholders together to address and solve our shared damage prevention challenges is sure to make the 2021 CGA Conference & Expo a forum where attendees can expect to leave more educated and connected to their peers than when they arrived. Verizon fully endorses the 2021 CGA Conference & Expo as the place for continuing damage prevention education."
