Villanova University is again hosting the 2007 Pennsylvania Stormwater Management Symposium on October 17-18. The symposium organizing committee is seeking potential speakers for the proposed sessions.

The purpose of the symposium is to advance the knowledge and understanding of comprehensive stormwater management for those dealing in all aspects of planning, design, implementation and regulatory compliance.

A half-day workshop for non-engineers will be held preceding the symposium. Participants are expected to include engineers, planners, water resource professionals, regional, state and local government representatives, land development professionals and watershed and conservation groups. The main track of the first day of the symposium and the half-day workshop will be broadcasted live over the Internet. Organizers are pursuing remote sites to allow for live questions and answer sessions.

Interested presenters and authors are encouraged to submit a brief abstract of not more than 300 words by the May 30. Papers or extended abstracts will be published in the conference proceedings, and authors will receive a discounted registration fee.

Electronic submittal is required through the VUSP website.
