Published on by Trudi Schifter, CEO and Founder AquaSPE in Business
After careful consideration and in consultation with our partners and planning team, the NWQMC has decided to move the 12th National Monitoring Conference to an all virtual platform for the week of April 19, 2021. A virtual conference will allow for maximum partner participation and maintain the best interest of the health and wellbeing of our attendees, sponsors and exhibitors.
We are still in the planning stages of this new format, but we expect the program to include:
- Plenary sessions with live Q&A
- Daily technical presentations with live Q&A
- “On your own sessions,” view recorded presentations on your timetable and ask the authors questions
- Poster Session with “lightning” presentations
- Talks and posters will be available to attendees on demand during the conference week, no need to miss any talks of interest due to overlapping times
- Daily networking opportunities
- Virtual exhibits from NWQMC affiliates, nonprofits and sponsors
- Virtual Fluid 5K fun run
Stay tuned for more detailed information on the virtual program, registration, awards, and more!
