SUBMISSION DEADLINE: MAY 15, 2026
The IUVA invites abstract submissions for both oral and poster presentations for the 2026 IUVA Americas Conference, to be held at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, on October 5-7, 2026. The conference will highlight advances in UV technology in all aspects of health and safety, including drinking water treatment, reuse water and wastewater treatment, air pollution, hospital infections, air and surface disinfection, wetted surface fouling control, control of invasive species, PFAS, treatment of industrial effluents, and regulatory issues.

The abstract length is 200-300 words (no figures) and must include full contact information for the corresponding author. After the authors are notified of acceptance, they will be required to submit a copy of the presentation slides for the proceedings. Abstracts accepted for oral presentation will include a 15-20 minute oral presentation followed by 5 minutes of discussion.

Special Commercial Showcase Session:
We are also requesting abstracts for a special “Commercial Showcase” session. These presentations do not need to be scientific and can be of commercial interest to the greater UV community, showcasing the latest technology available to the industry from the supply chain.
