About the Environmental Industry Summit

Since 2001, San Diego has been the site for the annual Environmental Industry Summit in March.
In 2020 EBI has suspended all in-person events, including the national Environmental Industry Summit, the DC Summit, and the three regional events in Texas, Seattle and Boston.

Environmental Industry Summit XVIII is a virtual event on September 9-11, 2020
with three consecutive days of 150-minute sessions from 1-3.30 Eastern time.

While EBI adheres to its mission of bringing together the community of senior executives in the environmental industry, we acknowledge that virtual networking is a poor substitute for in-person interaction. The September 9-11 event, like the entire 2020 Summit Series of webcasts, will feature proprietary content in the form of EBI analysis, followed by interactive Q&A with industry leaders and subject experts. Registrants will receive presentation decks and data sets to accompany recorded files of the live sessions.

The 50th anniversary of the environmental industry will be recognized in the virtual events below, but will be celebrated in appropriate style and pomp & circumstance in EBI’s next in-person Environmental Industry Summit expected to make its return in March 2021.

________

EBJ Business Achievement Awards, CCBJ Business Achievement Awards, and EBJ Lifetime Achievement Awards for 2020 will be presented to attending recipients in 2021.
