2017 Air Quality Management Conference

2017 Air Quality

Management Conference

Tuesday, October 17, 2017

Drury Lane Conference Center

100 Drury Lane, Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois 60181

The Air & Waste Management Association Lake Michigan States Section is pleased to once again

offer the Midwest¡¯s most comprehensive annual program on air quality management issues. The

LMSS¡¯s Air Quality Management conference has become a tradition in the region ¨C bringing

together environmental professionals from the industry, government, environmental services, legal

and NGO communities to learn about the key current issues and most important developments in

this rapidly-evolving field.

With the execution of numerous Executive Orders over the last six months, the Trump

administration unquestionably has changed the face of air quality and climate change regulation in

the United States. As a consequence, the relationship between federal and state environmental

agencies is likely to change. Such sweeping change creates regulatory uncertainty, and companies

must find ways of addressing that lack of certainty when running their businesses. In addition, third

party citizen enforcement may increase to fill perceived enforcement gaps. In spite of this

uncertainty, entities still must comply with existing regulations. Clearly, it is critical for all

environmental professionals to stay abreast of these rapidly-occurring changes and understand how

the changes can affect their organizations and/or their clients.

Please join us on Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at our Annual Air Quality Management Conference

being held at the Drury Lane Conference Center in Oakbrook Terrace. Companies that supply

products and services for environmental management will have exhibits on display at the

conference. Sponsorship opportunities also are available. For information on exhibiting or

sponsorship, please contact Robin Pelsis at (847) 202-0418 or robin.pelsis@.
