FRC 2020 Oral Platform Sessions have been designed to allow for three (3) 30 minute speaking slots.  We suggest presenters plan for a 20 minute talk and allow 10 minutes for Q&A.

For Poster presentations, posters will be on display for the entire event with a Poster Reception to be held on Thursday, November 5th in the exhibit hall.

If you have an interest in presenting an oral or poster presentation please click on the button below.

Submission Deadline: July 15, 2020.

We ask all speakers and poster presenters to consider paying the full conference registration fee since we are a 501(c)(3) non-profit and this is our main fund raising event for fostering the remediation and redevelopment profession. Having said that, if a speaker cannot pay the full registration we have established a fee of $127 to cover our direct costs. In the event the speaker is coming in to talk and then leave, we will waive the fee.

• Posters should generally present a title, abstract, introduction, methodology, results, and conclusions. Each section should have an appropriate heading. Graphs, charts, tables and illustrations should be included whenever possible.
• The size of your poster needs to be able to fit in an area 44” wide by 44” high.
