Why Speak at COMPOST2024?
The conference routinely attracts more than 1,200 attendees working directly in the fields of compost manufacturing and organics recycling. This guarantees speakers outstanding professional exposure as well as great networking opportunities. Lead speaker and poster author for each talk/poster receives the discounted speaker rate of 50% off.
Presenters can expect to have 20 minutes for their presentation, plus a few minutes for Q & A. Proposed presentations should include information directly relevant to compost manufacturing and related professions. Both case studies and research reports are welcome. Case studies may not simply espouse the benefits of a single product or service but must make a more general point (ie, no “infomercials”).
Abstracts for talks should be clear and concise and be no more than 300 words. A review committee will rate all abstracts. Ratings are based on content, clarity, and format. USCC membership is highly encouraged. For membership please click here.
Accepted abstracts will be available to view online prior to and at the conference.
