Environmental Compliance Navigator 2024™

Call for Abstracts

Environmental compliance experts are invited to submit abstracts for consideration as speakers at the Environmental Compliance Navigator 2024™, to be held in Nashville, Tennessee, on September 9-10, 2024.

The conference will feature a nationally recognized environmental compliance and enforcement expert as the keynote speaker, along with a series of presentations on advanced technical and regulatory challenges faced by environmental compliance managers nationwide. The evening of the first day will feature a networking event at a music venue on Broadway Street.

Presenting at this conference is a great way to share your knowledge and experience with colleagues, allowing you to showcase technical solutions, regulatory expertise, project successes, or case studies to help educate conference attendees.

 

Environmental Compliance Navigator 2024™ is presented to support those responsible for managing organizational and facility level environmental compliance challenges by focusing on topics that advance regulatory expertise and understanding of evolving compliance strategies. Unlike the many (excellent) conferences available that focus on topics such as sustainability, safety, and ESG, Environmental Compliance Navigator 2024™ covers the complex facility, management, and implementation challenges that organizational and facility managers much navigate to consistently maintain regulatory compliance. 

Abstracts are due on or before May 15, 2024
