PROGRAM FAQs
When will the program be released?
A draft program will be released by November 2023.
Will the program change?
After a draft is available, it will change as speakers are confirmed. You will be able to view the latest version on the conference website.
How does the call for abstracts process work?
The EN2024 Program Development Committee (PDC) will invite abstracts for consideration for speaking and poster presentations. The call for abstracts will open in early March 2023.
What kinds of abstracts is the Program Development Committee interested in?
The PDC aims to create a program that deals with current challenges in the energy sector but also looks into the future to see how the sector may continue to evolve and change.
The PDC will identify themes of interest, key issues that the network sector faces as Australia transitions to a sustainable energy future.
- Abstracts should be exclusive to EN2024 conference and not one that has been presented or will be presented at another conference in Australia before EN2024.
- Previous presentations can serve as the basis of your abstract but must incorporate new and original material.
- Your presentation should contain new knowledge or experience in a field of relevance.
- Case studies are highly regarded.
- Data in your presentation must be technically correct.
When will people be notified if their abstract has been successful?
After you submit an abstract, you will be contacted via the online portal about the success of your application.
Due to the high number of abstracts received, only some abstracts will be selected for presentation at a concurrent session. Others will be invited to present a poster in the EN2024 Poster Series.
What is the EN2024 Poster Series?
Posters will be selected from applications made through the EN2024 call for abstracts process and form part of the EN2024 Poster Series. These posters will be prominently displayed in a dedicated area within the Exhibition Hall. Opportunities to meet the authors and hear a presentation will be included in the program. There is also a dedicated networking reception on Wednesday 20 March 2024 to celebrate the poster presentations.
Do I need to register as a delegate if my abstract is selected for a concurrent session or the EN2024 Poster Series?
Yes, if you are successful in securing a position on the program as a concurrent session speaker or as part of the EN2024 Poster Series, you are required to register and pay the discounted speaker rate.
Who reviews abstracts?
The Program Development Committee will blind-review all abstracts.
