National Brownfields Training Conference

August 5-8, 2025

CCLR will present TEN sessions at the 2025 National Brownfields Training Conference, August 5-8 in Chicago, plus bonus networking events!

The National Brownfields Training Conference 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. From utilizing AI in brownfield reuse, to the return of Perfect Pitch and Brownfields Karaoke, CCLR is excited to see you all there.

Affiliated Events:

Join us for a lively morning event featuring breakfast, engaging speakers, and recognition of brownfield champions. Then stick around for an evening of fun and connection at our TAB and Friends Brownfields Karaoke Night! Your sponsorship of these events will showcase your leadership in land reuse—supporting community engagement, innovation, and a little fun along the way. Contact Jean Hamerman at [email protected] to discuss sponsorship options.
