The Ohio Water Environment Association holds five to six Specialty Workshops and an Annual Technical Conference with an extensive technical program each year. Share your experiences, successes, and lessons learned at one of OWEAs 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.
2020 Technical Conference & Expo June 22-25, 2020Extended Deadline to Submit: November 1, 2019 Flyer Are you a Young Professional? Check this out! The Northeast Section of the Ohio Water Environment Association is excited to host the
2020 OWEA Annual Conference at the Holiday Inn in Independence, Ohio from Monday, June
22nd through Thursday, June 25th. As our members and conference attendees continue to
deal with smaller budgets, while still meeting new and current regulatory requirements, they
are looking at emerging technologies and cost effective alternatives for the operation and
maintenance of their facilities. They are also faced with addressing aging infrastructure while
striving to deploy new green and more efficient technologies all while managing their most
valuable resource, their staff.
These issues and challenges are important to our attendees and are captured in the technical
program tracks (listed below). We are only accepting online submissions of abstracts in order
to streamline the submission process and the gathering of your information. Please visit
www.ohiowea.org to submit an abstract. Please remember to provide concise information
and submit the required abstract (600 words in either Microsoft Word or PDF format) and
biography information. This information will be used to review and select presentations for
the conference technical program.
Please note: Presentation time slots will be 45 minutes long. Actual presentations should be
40 minutes in length allowing 5 minutes for questions.
Once again, we are very excited about the upcoming conference and look forward to an excellent technical program!
