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.
