VA811 Bootcamp
2026-05-27 10:00 - 12:30 | Columbia Gas Training Center, 1809 Coyote Dr., Chester, VA, 23836, United States
Virginia 811 Bootcamp
The Questions We Hear Every Day — Finally in One Room.

Wednesday
May 27, 2026
10:00 AM–12:30 PM
Columbia Gas Training Center
1809 Coyote Dr.
Chester, VA 23836
Breakfast and lunch will be provided

Anyone who works with the 811 system knows that questions come up constantly in the field—about Exactix, mapping, member responsibilities, and operations—but the answers often live across different teams and subject matter experts, making it difficult to know who to ask.
The Virginia 811 Bootcamp is a chance to bring those questions — and the people who can answer them — into the same room. Utilities, excavators, locators, and stakeholders will have the opportunity to talk through real-world challenges, ask questions directly, and learn from one another.
By getting together in person, we believe everyone will walk away with clearer answers, stronger connections, and a better understanding of how the system works for everyone involved.
