AWRA 2012 Summer Specialty Conference
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
print
The Conference Planning Committee encourages “Special Sessions”.  Those interested in organizing should submit session proposal information to Judy Okay Technical Program Chair, by Jan. 6, 2012.  For more information see Call for Special Sessions.
Immediately prior to this conference and at the same location will be another AWRA Specialty Conference focused on Contaminants of Emerging Concern in Water Resources
Sessions will be offered on Wednesday that will bridge the topic areas of both of these related conferences. Please consider the session topics of both conferences as there may be relevant topic areas in each.

You can attend one conference or both (for a small additional fee): 3 days or 4 to 5 days – the choice is yours to participate in a truly interdisciplinary conference setting.
