"We are excited that this year's conference is being held in Detroit," said Adrianne Carolla, A&WMA Executive Director. "Although the city has obviously been affected by the challenges facing the U.S. auto industry, the theme of ACE 2009 is "Driving Environmental Progress," so what better place to gather and discuss climate change, new energy policies, and alternative fuels? And with the uncertain economy and a new administration focused on environmental issues, it is more important than ever for environmental professionals to come to ACE to network and share their knowledge on the pressing issues of our time."
ACE 2009 will feature a technical program with over 500 speakers, hundreds of exhibitors displaying the latest products and services, social tours and networking events, professional development courses taught by leading instructors, and a student program.
