In March the conference planning committee opened the Call for Ideas for the 2011 National Brownfields Conference. Participants were to submit online, well thought out ideas on topics relating to brownfields redevelopment that they would like to see at the Conference.
Consider investing in Brownfields 2011 to increase your organization’s visibility and prestige among the nation’s leading redevelopment decision makers and showcase your services and products to business and industry representatives; local, state, tribal, and federal government officials; and other key stakeholders.
“Having attended the first brownfields conference in Pittsburgh in 1996, and most since, I would have to say the 2009 conference in New Orleans was perhaps my all time favorite. From the wonderful pre-conference site tours, the huge environmental justice caucus, the poignant speech of Father Vien T. Nguyen of Mary Queen of Vietnam Church, the great sessions, and the rapturous welcome from Administrator Lisa Jackson and Assistant Administrator Mathy Stanislaus, I felt like I was at the place to be for those who believe in environmental clean-up, regeneration and revitalization. Each year the national EPA Brownfields conference keeps getting better and better. I am bristling with anticipation because I know that the City of Brotherly Love and EPA Region 3 will deliver an exceptional gathering for Brownfields 2011.”
