The Call for Ideas for the 2023 National Brownfields Training Conference is now open! We invite you to submit your ideas for dynamic educational sessions that encourage conversation and participation from your fellow attendees. A great session will motivate brownfields stakeholders to engage, learn, and share their experiences and knowledge of community revitalization challenges and solutions. If you have a brownfields success story or knowledge and experience in brownfields topics, this is your chance to share it with your colleagues.

Please carefully review the Call for Ideas Submission Guide before completing your submission. Contact Will Fricke (wfricke@icma.org) with questions.
