Conference Program

• A facilitated Environmental Research Needs Workshop will be conducted on Sunday afternoon. The workshop will result in the development of a comprehensive agenda for environmental research needs that can be used to develop more coordinated future environmental and energy research.
• All conference registrants are welcome; some of you indicated that you will be participating when you registered.
• The Workshop will be held at the Raleigh Marriott City Center, 500 Fayetteville Street, which is just across S. Salisbury Street from the Raleigh Convention Center (the Conference location).

• Conference participants will enjoy a Sunday evening BBQ dinner with cash bar outdoors on the new City Plaza in the heart of downtown Raleigh. Located adjacent to the Marriott entrance on 500 Fayetteville Street, City Plaza is a newly designed cultural and social public gathering place that reinforces Raleigh’s image as one of the country’s most livable cities.
