The WM Conference was first held in 1974 in Tucson, Arizona.  It was sponsored by the University of Arizona to assist the US Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) in the management of high-level radioactive waste.  Since then, it has expanded to other areas of radioactive waste and radioactive material management.  For 2014, Sweden/Finland will be the featured nations and the US DOE site of Hanford in Washington and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico will be the featured sites.  Thursday will include special sessions on the "Management Of Radioactive Waste Following A Nuclear Accident Or Extreme Contamination Scenario."

The annual Waste Management (WM) Conference, presented by WM Symposia (WMS), is widely regarded as the premier international conference for the management of radioactive material and related topics. WMS is a non-profit organization dedicated to education and opportunity in waste management. It was founded to provide a forum for discussing and seeking cost-effective and environmentally responsible solutions to the safe management and disposition of radioactive waste and radioactive materials.

The WM2013 annual conference attracted nearly 2,000 registrants from around the world and provided significant opportunities for networking, professional growth and education - as well as business opportunities. This conference was attended by decision makers, project managers and technical and procurement specialists representing the government and private organizations undertaking the global tasks of radioactive material management, decommissioning and site remediation.

Supporting organizations include the American Nuclear Society (ANS), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the International Framework for Nuclear Energy Cooperation (IFNEC) and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development/Nuclear Energy Agency (OECD/NEA). The conference is also organized in cooperation with the US Department of Energy (DOE), the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Defense (DoD).
