The North Texas irrigation industry is preparing for one of its most important annual gatherings. On Thursday, January 28, 2027, the Dallas Irrigation Association (DIA) will host its Expo under the theme “Building the Future of Irrigation” at the Plano Event Center in Plano, Texas. Doors open at 7:30 a.m., with educational sessions running from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

A specialized tract for Backflow, Irrigation, Technician, Water, Wastewater, and OSSF licensees features Confined Space Safety and Awareness, which offers dual credit for BP and LI/IT/II, Water, Wastewater, and OSSF licensees.
These sessions emphasize real-world skills—system design and troubleshooting, water conservation strategies, emerging wireless and controller technologies, infrastructure planning, and safety—while addressing the practical challenges contractors and technicians face daily in the DFW metroplex and beyond.
