The IEP Annual Workshop for 2023 will take place March 21-24 at the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) Headquarters Building located at 715 “P” Street in downtown Sacramento.
The workshop will be a FREE hybrid (in-person and virtual) event!
The in-person events will consist of the workshop presentations being shared inside the CNRA’s 300-seat auditorium and the posters being showcased in conference rooms on the 2nd floor. These events will occur March 21-23, while the 4th day of the workshop will be reserved for training courses. Space is limited for the auditorium and training courses, so registration for those events will be required for each day. The workshop presentations in the auditorium will be live streamed for remote participants.
Registration
Registration for the in-person workshop events will open in early 2023.
Poster Session and Call for Abstracts
The Poster Session will be incorporated into the daily workshop schedule rather than an evening poster reception. So, there will be plenty of opportunity for community members to engage with the poster authors each day. No registration is required to come and peruse the posters, so if you are unable to register for the in-person event in the auditorium, you can still come to the CNRA building and peruse the posters on the 2nd floor and interact with poster authors during the daily poster session schedule.
A call for poster abstracts will be announced in early November. Posters will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. To be eligible for consideration, the primary poster author must register to attend the workshop in-person.
Mentor Luncheon
The IEP Workshop will be offering an in-person Mentor Luncheon for students and early career professionals. This event allows a limited number of students and early career scientists to be paired with established career professionals to discuss their research interests and career building pathways. Seating is limited and registration is required. More information on the luncheon and how to register will be coming soon. This event is being sponsored by the State Water Contractors.
