TECHNICAL ABSTRACTS
Take to
the stage
at ISWA 2026
Technical abstracts help to drive global conversations, creating lasting solutions for our planet’s waste challenges.
Abstract authors will take the stage to share their innovative research, case studies, and solutions to an international audience of waste management professionals, policymakers, and sustainability leaders in London.
Deadline: Abstract submissions are now closed.
What happens next?
All abstract submissions are currently being reviewed by a panel of industry experts. If you have submitted an abstract, you will be contacted by 3rd July 2026 to confirm whether your submission was successful.
Please note that there are a limited number of slots available for technical sessions and abstract submissions cannot be amended while the review process takes place.
