Mitigation Banking Conference Seeking Speakers
Organizers for the 12th Annual National Mitigation & Ecosystem Banking Conference are now accepting calls for presentations for the event, which is set for May 5-8, 2009, in Salt Lake City.
NAHB is supporting the conference, which offers education and networking for users and supporters of mitigation and conservation banks that builders and developers can use when onsite mitigation for environmental impacts is not feasible.
The theme for the upcoming event is “Banking Under the New Rule,” referring to new direction for mitigation banking released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers earlier this year.
The conference is seeking presentations from experienced mitigation and conservation bankers, regulators, users, engineers, investors, environmental organizations and others who have experience in the expanding mitigation and ecosystem banking industry.
Submissions are due by Oct. 15; guidelines are available on the conference Web site.
Established 11 years ago as the only national conference that brings together key regulators, bankers, users and providers of services in the mitigation, conservation and ecosystem banking marketplace, the conference provides attendees educational and networking opportunities.
In addition to a workshop on the Corps’ new mitigation banking rule, the conference will include regulator, banker and user forums; updates on other environmental rules and regulations; field trips and exhibits; and a number of social events.
