The conference will include a plenary session, six concurrent breakout sessions, posters and exhibitor tables, plenty of snacks and of course, the famous Maritime Institute all-you-can-eat buffet lunch. You'll also have plenty of time to network and catch up with old friends and colleagues during the long breaks and at the post-meeting social.

Following the theme of this year's conference – Managing Water Quality in a Changing World – concurrent sessions will focus on these challenges and our need to adapt to them. Topics include:

• Agriculture and water quality
• Citizens science
• Climate change and adaptation
• Communicating progress and successes
• Leveraging data sources
• New monitoring technologies
• Stream restoration biomonitoring
