BP Energy Center
- 1014 Energy Court, Anchorage, AK
March 6-8, 2023
The Alaska Section, AWRA is excited to announce the 2023 Annual Conference after a three-year
hiatus! AWRA's mission is to advance multidisciplinary water resources education, management,
and research. Our annual conference is an opportunity for collaboration among physical, biological,
and social scientists, engineers, and students concerned with water resource research, planning,
development, management, and education. The intention is that this will be a hybrid conference;
presentations will be available for streaming but all speakers must be present in-person. We highly
encourage all who can to attend in person. Stay tuned and keep an eye out for more details in your
inbox and on this page regarding student travel grant opportunities
and more. Abstract submittal is now closed, but don't miss out on this conference
to network with water resources professionals and students to help celebrate AWRA.
