Call for Abstracts
The CASQA Annual Conference is the industry standard educational event for the stormwater community in California featuring in-depth discussions and training addressing a wide range of challenges and opportunities. Each year we are fortunate to receive many abstract submissions for review and selection by a team of stormwater professionals. We encourage you to submit an abstract for a technical presentation, panel, training workshop, or poster!
This page will be updated for the 2025 conference as more information becomes available.
