Overview
The conference program will includes internationally renowned keynote speakers encompassing experiences, challenges and solutions from around the world. These presentations will be complemented by over 180 platform papers, workshops and special sessions.
The main conference program will commence with the Opening Ceremony on Tuesday morning, which will be an inspirational and spectacular start to the event. The conference will close on Thursday afternoon with a keynote presentation, comments from the Ozwater’12 rapporteurs and best paper and best poster awards, followed by informal drinks.
Electronic Poster Program
The Ozwater ’12 program will include sophisticated electronic posters – the next generation of poster presentations. Electronic posters are webpage documents produced by the authors before the conference. The posters include text, figures and images, just as in traditional paper posters. Electronic posters can be browsed by session and topic, and can be searched using author names and keywords, all in a few seconds, from one computer. Delegates will be able to contact authors via email through the electronic poster system.
Delegates will have the opportunity to meet some of the poster authors in the poster area during lunchbreaks. The electronic posters will be included on the USB conference proceedings.
