2023 P3S Conference Call for Proposals
What knowledge will you share in Monterey? Apply today to be a speaker
The 50th annual Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention, and Stormwater conference is taking place January 30 – February 1 in Monterey. We expect to attract 300-400 professionals to the conference.
This year’s P3S Conference Committee seeks innovative speakers to share their expertise with P3S professionals to further their knowledge and grow in their careers.
If you have an interesting topic, case study, or success story to share, please submit your proposal today. The committee is looking for presentations related to the challenges and topics listed below.
Each presentation must be 50 minutes (including discussion time) to qualify for one (1) CWEA contact hour in a specific practice area, depending on the topic.
CWEA also believes that outcome-centered learning is the best way to support conference participants, as they gain the knowledge and skills they need to do their work. Therefore, we ask presenters to design their technical sessions with engagement and practice in mind.
