Poster of the Year
The Poster of the
Year Award was first presented in 2000 and provides an avenue for presentation
of information on initial findings of work that has been commenced, as well as
work from completed projects. The Award affords a unique opportunity for
authors wanting to share their knowledge or experiences through the medium of
display posters at the Conference. Posters are marked by the Technical
Committee.
Each eligible poster is marked against following five criteria:
- Technical Content
- Practical Content
- Future Use
- Clarity and Logic
- Poster Author response to questions (Scored Zero if Author not in attendance)
Call for Poster Abstracts
The Water New Zealand Conference & Expo 2022 will be held at Te Pae Convention Centre in Ōtautahi Christchurch from 18 – 20 October 2022.
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 will open on Wednesday 27 July, and the link will be included on this page.
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, 19 October.
