The educational program for Brownfields 2011 is a direct result of your ideas and suggestions. Each year, we use your responses to the Brownfields Conference Call for Ideas to determine how we'll fill the over 100 educational sessions offered at the conference.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) recently announced the 14th National Brownfields Conference, which will be held April 3-5, 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Call for Ideas closes on July 30, 2010.
