Abstracts
Abstracts addressing the conference topics should include a focus on challenges, solutions – both proven or possible, lessons learned, new and potential future technologies and innovations, and, as always, the inclusion of case studies is welcomed. Potential presenters are requested to provide a personal bio, a photograph (in JPEG format) and an abstract of no more than 300 words outlining the content of their presentation by Friday 25 September 2020.
Written Papers vs Presentations Only
Recognising that life is busy and people still wish to contribute but may not have the time to write a technical paper, the Institute allows abstract submissions for both presentations with a technical paper supplied, and for presentations only with no technical paper required.
Please indicate as part of your submission whether a technical paper will be provided, and which stream you believe your abstract should be presented in.
Important Deadlines
Presenters who are selected for the Conference will be advised by the end of November and full papers will be required by Friday 29 January 2021 for judging purposes. Presentations will be required by Friday 26 February 2021.
In addition to our normal face to face format, we intend to both livestream and record the sessions, so please be aware that unlike previous years, once your presentation is submitted, there will not be the opportunity to make changes to it and unfortunately we will not be able to provide any extensions as there are a lot of things that need to happen in the background for these opportunities to occur.
The Geoff Dutton Best Paper Award & Presentation Award
The author of the best paper presented at the 2021 WA Annual Conference will receive the Geoff Dutton Best Paper Award.
A separate prize category “Best Conference Presentation as Voted by the Audience” was introduced in early 2018 for those who are submitting presentations only. Due to timing, this is often not announced until after the Conference.
For further information, please contact myself, Cathy Higgs, Office & Events Manager on (08) 9321 5470 or email cathy@ipwea.asn.au.
Please feel free to pass this email onto anyone you believe may be interested in presenting.
