Trethewey’s session on Talking Tech in a Non-Tech World will be Thursday, Oct. 3 from 8:45 am to 10:00 am. For more than 40 years, Trethewey has been teaching America about the thing they know little about — the mysterious world of plumbing and heating. Now he's sharing his unique (and funny) insights with his fellow professionals at CONNECT. Trethewey will reveal his tricks for "talking tech" in what many consider a "non-tech world," share why he calls himself a "certified PHCC brat," and more!Sponsored by Viega
