Always independent and balanced since 1997, the Environmental Markets Conference (formerly called the National Mitigation & Ecosystem Banking Conference) was founded in 1997 with a diverse steering committee of leaders in regulatory, banking and environmental community. Each year we travel to another section of the country and use local/regional contacts to enhance the program.
