Success Stories Submission

We’re looking for real-world success stories that showcase how wastewater public health monitoring data guide public health decisions. If you have an example of how wastewater data has made a measurable impact, we want to hear from you! We invite submissions from health departments, laboratories, academic groups, and utilities. This is an opportunity to highlight the successes of your team or partners!

Submissions are due by May 7.

If selected, you will be notified by May 9.

How is this different from the call for poster abstracts? This call is specifically for success stories where wastewater public health monitoring has directly influenced decision-making or led to positive public health outcomes. Selected stories will be showcased two ways:

A one-pager developed in collaboration with WEF: WEF will draft a one-pager for your review, and these will be displayed at the Summit during the poster session.
A 5-minute pre-recorded video or in-person presentation sharing key insights with Summit attendees.
