AWRA Annual Water Resources Conference

Types of Presentations

The AWRA Conference Planning Committee (AWRA Staff, Technical Chair, or others) will stay in touch with you from the time you submit your abstract until the presentation is completed to verify you have all the information you need and verify we have commitments from your speakers.

Individual Oral Presentations

Oral Presentations are typically organized with four to a 90-minute session (sometimes fewer) grouped according to the same or similar topics. This typically allows 20-minutes for each presentation with 10 minutes for questions (for all session presenters combined).

Panel Sessions

A panel session is a 90-minute session with live group discussion on some topic of your choice. Where three or four experts (may include you) briefly introduce their viewpoint and then interact with one another and the audience. Panel sessions focus on a unified topic, with multiple brief (10 -15 minutes each) presentations and a moderated discussion by the panel organizer. Panel sessions require just one abstract, submitted by the organizer. Please advise panelists that they must pay the registration fee.

Workshop

A workshop is a session where a group of people engage in intensive discussion and activity on a particular subject or project. A workshop is typically instruction-based, introducing a new concept, spurring participants to investigate it further on their own, or demonstrating and encouraging the practice of actual methods.

Posters

Poster presentations are an important part of our meeting. The poster session format provides authors with an excellent opportunity to interact and command greater audience interest than is normally available. By means of illustrations and brief texts mounted on large poster (bulletin) boards, authors will have an opportunity to communicate the results of their work to meeting participants on a one-to-one basis for a longer period than is normally available for oral presentations.
