Registration Notices:
Pre-registration is HIGHLY recommended in order for us to get accurate headcounts to provide for meals, swag, and venue space. Please register as early as possible and avoid registering the week prior to the event – if at all possible – to ensure adequate resources for all attendees.
Each registration requires a unique email. This is to improve the efficiency of the on-site check in, assist in obtaining an accurate headcount, and allow important communications regarding the event to reach each attendee. You can still register multiple people at once and register on another’s behalf, but a unique email is needed for each attendee.
Help us keep this event free - please only register if you will be able to attend.
Thank you for your cooperation! If you have any questions regarding these notices, please reach out to Jill Geyer at jillgeyer@occinc.com.
Sponsorship Opportunities
The Nebraska Excavation Safety Summit is made possible by our generous sponsors! As the only event of this type in the state with over 1,500 industry professionals attending annually, this summit offers a level of unparalleled value and support for our excavation and damage prevention industry. Because of continuously increasing attendance numbers, the summit cannot continue at the capacity that attendees have come to expect year after year, including free meals and engaging professional keynote speakers, without your support. We offer a variety of sponsorship packages and can tailor a package to your goals!
Only one submission per organization is needed. We'll reach out to the main point of contact to confirm those assisting with booths. Click the link above to register as a Sponsor/Exhibitor or contact Travis at travis@subsurfacesolutions.com or 402-203-4415 to sign up today. Sponsors that are signed up before January 5, 2026, will be included in registration marketing materials.
