About us
The National Brownfields Training Conference is the largest event in the U.S. focused on creating jobs and economic opportunity by cleaning up and redeveloping brownfield properties. The event brings together stakeholders from government, industry, and the community to share knowledge and best practices on the remediation and redevelopment of contaminated properties, known as brownfields. We feature a range of sessions, workshops, and networking events that cover topics such as financing, liability, and community engagement, with the goal of promoting the cleanup and revitalization of contaminated sites across the United States. Attending the National Brownfields Training Conference can be beneficial for professionals working in fields related to brownfields remediation and redevelopment, such as environmental consultants, developers, attorneys, and government officials. The conference provides a platform for participants to learn about the latest technologies and strategies for cleaning up and reusing contaminated properties, as well as opportunities to connect with peers and potential partners. By sharing knowledge and best practices, the National Brownfields Training Conference plays an important role in advancing the field of brownfields redevelopment and promoting sustainable land use practices.

Chicago is dazzling this week at #Brownfields2025, a city where modern #infrastructure meets natural beauty. Outside the McCormick Place convention center, I found myself greeted by vibrant greenery and sweeping lakefront views. It’s a reminder that revitalization and sustainability aren’t just ideas we talk about inside the conference hall; they’re living, breathing examples right outside the door. Proud to be here with ICMA - International City/County Management Association, connecting with professionals and exploring innovative solutions for communities across the country.
