CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

Alabama’s Water Environment Association (AWEA) is pleased to announce the Call for Presentations for the 2010 Conference and Technical Program to be held April 18 through April 21, 2010 at the Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama.  The Technical Program Committee is seeking topics for presentation at the Conference and invites you to be a presenter, a session moderator, or to solicit associates, engineers, corporate leaders, public officials, academia, consultants, or equipment and service representatives to do the same so that we can enhance our industry by sharing technical knowledge and experiences that support and continue growth.

The 2010 Technical Program will focus on the following categories:

  • Wastewater Collection and Treatment
  • Watershed Management/Storm Water
  • Operator Training
  • Management/Professional Issues

Presentations are invited in the following areas of interest related to these categories:

  • Case studies in wastewater collection, treatment, disposal and management
  • Watershed management
  • Groundwater issues (contaminant sources, low recharge rates, etc.)
  • Biosolids and beneficial reuse
  • Laboratory and sampling procedures for wastewater
  • Storm water control, high-density development issues (erosion, flooding, etc.), and permitting
  • Innovative permit compliance or enforcement settlement actions
  • Project management, training, and safety

Interested Presenters are requested to complete the Presentation Abstract form and return it by Monday, November 2, 2009 to Rob McElroy(see details below).

If you are unable to present at the conference but have a topic in mind that you would like to see presented, we would appreciate your input by including it on the attached form and returning the form to us so that potential presenters can be contacted.  We are requesting that abstracts of the presentations be submitted to the addresses below by Monday, November 2, 2009.  Abstracts of presentations should be 300 words or less and should be submitted in digital form.  Presentations should not exceed 40 minutes (25 to 30-minute presentation with 10 to 15 minutes of questions and answers).  One speaker per presentation will receive reduced conference registration.  Contact either Kerry Hannah or Rob Coleman (see below) for more details.  Conference registration information with the list of presentation topics will be sent to AWEA members in January 2009. Various incentives for those attending the technical sessions, including drawings for prizes, will also be added to this year’s event.

We hope to have more than 500 environmental professionals in attendance, along with 70 exhibitors of equipment and services.  Please circulate this Call for Presentations within your organization.  With your help, we can have the best technical program available in Alabama for all environmental professionals.
