The National Ground Water Association is soliciting workshop submissions for the 2021 Groundwater Week—the best of theory turned into practical application. Survey results from the 2020 Groundwater Week overwhelmingly indicated attendees preferred fewer and extremely high-quality offerings, and NGWA will accommodate. All submissions should reflect new and improved technologies, current industry application, and influences with ramifications to the groundwater industry and those who work in it.
Three concurrent workshop sessions will be offered at various times on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Each workshop will be allocated 60 minutes and each actual presentation should be at least 52 minutes in length or it will be ineligible for state-recognized continuing education credit. NGWA may adjust event formats and scheduling as circumstances necessitate.
Submissions will be capture through the electronic submission system until May 1 at 11:59 p.m. PT when it will close.
