Picture yourself behind the podium!

 

The Ohio Water Environment Association holds four Specialty Workshops and an Annual Conference with an extensive technical program each year. Share your experiences, successes, and lessons learned at one of OWEA’s Specialty Workshops or the Annual Conference as we work together to provide technical education and training for Ohio water quality professionals who clean water and return it safely to the environment.
 
Speaker and Presentation Protocol:
  • The best papers document actual case studies and projects as opposed to research or theory.
     
  • Papers shall not be used to engage in advertising or selling equipment or professional services.
     
  • Several criteria will be used to evaluate the abstracts, including originality, project status, technical merit,
    significance, and overall quality.
     
  • Manuscripts will be subject to revision or rejection if lacking in quality.
     
  • Accepted authors who do not submit a manuscript by the required deadline will be removed from the program
