About the Summit
Presented by Environmental Business International and co-hosted by Hunton Andrews Kurth, EBI’s Policy & Politics Summit will deliver an insider’s perspective on agencies, policy directives, programs, bills on the Hill and the upcoming budget for 2021.
This year, EBI’s Politics & Policy Summit will focus on the 2020 election outcome, its implications, and the impact it will have on the environmental industry and projects in energy, transportation and infrastructure.
- Will the House provide some budget riders for Climate Change and Urban Resilience?
- Will there be urban renewal and an increase in the number of city water projects?
- Will there be an intensified battle on EPA Regulations? What about PFAS and NEPA?
- Will there be changes in DoD funding?
- What about the future of energy and environmental initiatives?
- We will also hear our annual update from the major industry associations: NAM, EEI, ACC and NASEO.
Each year 60-80 senior environmental executives join in this insider discussion, now set for just 2 weeks after the election.
Designed for government relations, strategic planning, federal markets and business development executives in the energy and environmental industries, EBI’s Politics & Policy Summit provides an outlook on current policy drivers, market drivers, business trends, economic and political issues, and introduces up-to-the-minute newsmakers and key agency decision-makers to an interactive audience of senior executives, association leaders and DC insiders.
