The Engineers’ Society of Western Pennsylvania is sponsoring its 12th “The Business of Brownfields” conference April 18-20 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh.

Deborah Lange, Conference Chair said the conference planning committee decided to return to the Society’s technical roots and have targeted a program that is not for the “fainthearted.”

“Building on the foundations of previous brownfields conferences and years of collective experience, we aim to provide our audience with the latest advances in subjects such as investigation methodologies, remediation technologies, legal considerations, financial strategies and insurance options,” said Lange.

“This year we will also add a research track and engage those universities that are finding cutting edge ways to improve and expedite smart brownfield development,” explained Lange. “We encourage your participation in any number of ways: speaker, exhibitor, endorser, sponsor, attendee (or all of the above.)

“This year we are particularly excited that our conference will be located in the first ‘green’ convention center in the world and a boat tour of riverfront brownfields, hosted by the Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Brownfields Association.

“We are returning to our roots, but we are returning with all of the latest in technologies! We look forward to seeing you in Pittsburgh in April.
