About Us

EnviroWorkshops are in-person events for environmental professionals.

Based in Davidson, NC, we've been growing this annual series of accessible half-day events since 2013, and we have quickly become the largest environmental training organization worldwide, stretching 6 continents.

In 2025, you can find us in more than 25 cities across North America and Europe.

We have had over 100 speakers address topics on Remediation, Vapor Intrusion, Air Quality, Coal Ash, and Energy & Environment.

MEET OUR FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Travis Bowman

Prior to founding EnviroWorkshops, Travis Bowman represented a range of remediation and air emissions technologies, including chemical oxidation, bioremediation, metals stabilization, bioaugmentation, surfactants, trona, and others.

He hosted the first Remediation Workshop in 2013. The events attracted sponsors and grew quickly to span the country. Subsequent years have seen expansion into additional technology markets and regions of the globe. With his team, Travis develops locations, speakers, and exhibitors for workshops hosted by companies around the world.

Travis is married and loves to be with his family. He finds time, too, for a second passion as author, actor, and film producer with special focus on the life of an ancestor of American Revolution renown. You can learn more at www.travisbowman.com.

Rich Cartwright

EnviroWorkshops & EnviroClass Representative Host

💐 Tribute to Rich Cartwright💐

It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the sudden passing of Rich Cartwright—a beloved husband, father, grandfather, and a true legend in the environmental and hazardous materials management community.

For the past twelve years, Rich served as a host for EnviroWorkshops events & EnviroClass webinars, bringing not only his brilliance in chemistry, environmental compliance, and EHS solutions to every session—but also his humor, and boundless energy.

Rich wasn’t just an expert—he was a storyteller. I’ll never forget the trip we took together to Niagara Falls with his wife, Phyllis, where we received a first-class “Rich Cartwright” science and history lesson on the Love Canal Disaster. His passion for the environment, his gift for teaching, and his heart for people were truly unmatched.

One of the last things Rich told me was that he wanted to "pass the torch" to the next generation—to continue the great work of protecting our planet for future generations. That’s the legacy he leaves behind.

Over his incredible career, Rich served as:

Global Goodwill Ambassador for the Alliance of Hazardous Materials Professionals
AHMP National President and Pete Cook Founders Award recipient
Recognized Fellow of IHMM, AHMP, and APICS
Mentor to thousands of CHMM students over the past 37 years
Leader in dozens of LinkedIn communities and environmental networks
And most of all, a champion for the next generation of environmental professionals

Rich’s personality was as big as his resume—gregarious, fun, deeply generous, and always ready with a story, a joke, or a wise word. His absence will be felt deeply across the entire industry.

Let’s Honor His Memory:

We miss you already, Rich. Thank you for your leadership, your laughter, and your legacy.
