The CLEAN WATERWAYS 2018 Call for Presentations

Currently closed

CLEAN WATERWAYS will focus on improving oil and hazardous materials spill prevention and response on inland river systems. Our goal is to serve the spill response industry by hosting a forum that facilitates an open exchange of ideas, case studies and best practices for stakeholders from industry, government, environmental, emergency planning and response industries throughout maritime, facilities, rail and pipeline.

The CLEAN WATERWAYS program is developed by a government/industry-based committee of approximately 40 industry professionals. All abstracts are reviewed for content and relevance by the committee and are selected by consensus. Our audience is particularly interested in content that is tactical in nature. All abstracts considered sales pitches or product specific will be rejected.
