Success Stories Submission

We’re looking for real-world success stories that showcase how wastewater public health monitoring data has been used to inform public health actions. If you have an example of wastewater data making an impact, we want to hear from you. We invite submissions from health departments, laboratories, academic groups, and utilities. Here’s an opportunity to highlight the achievements from your team or partners! Submissions are due by March 28. If selected, you will be notified by April 4.

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 public health outcomes. Selected stories will be showcased through:

A poster presentation
A 5-minute pre-recorded video sharing key insights
