Presentations, posters sessions and panel discussions will focus on integrating new research, education, policy, and technology developments in the following areas:
- Understanding natural, anthropogenic and legacy sources of nutrients
- Nutrient dynamics and enrichment impacts in aquatic ecosystems
- Efficacy of nutrient source control strategies
- Innovative biological, physical, and chemical nutrient reduction & recovery technologies
- Social, behavioral, and economic aspects of nutrient management

In addition to the topics above student poster presentations will be accepted on any subject pertaining to water. Student poster authors are eligible to compete for "Best Poster" awards based on the quality of the abstract, poster, and discussion. Three poster winners will receive prizes of $1000 each to be used as funding to support future participation at a national conference.
