ICF will be exhibiting and presenting at the 2017 National Adaptation Forum in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Themed, "Action today for a better tomorrow," the event promises to be an exceptional learning experience where exhibitors and attendees will gather to foster knowledge exchange, innovation, and mutual support for a better tomorrow.
The Forum includes opportunities for professional development through formal trainings, facilitated practitioner presentations, and informal exchange of information all at a single venue. This event affords attendees the opportunity to learn more about how to make their work climate smart, share what they have learned with others, and develop a stronger network to be climate savvy in all that they do.
This year some of our experts will moderate a variety of panels and present on topics that will focus on enhancing energy resilience; integration of resilience into municipal planning; benefit-cost analysis of flood mitigation; barriers to cultural resource climate change adaptation; climate-related supply chain management; and infrastructure design.
