Call for Poster Abstracts
The Water New Zealand Conference & Expo 2023 will be held at Tākina Convention and Exhibition Centre, Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington.
After a successful call for technical paper abstracts, we are now looking for a call for poster abstracts to supplement the technical programme and provide further insight into the industry and its people.
The Poster Abstract Portal is now closed.
As per previous years, posters will be printed by the organisers and prominently displayed at the conference. Poster presenters will also have the opportunity to address delegates and judges during the lunch break on Wednesday, 18 October.
