The conference will start with a timely Keynote Plenary that provides a multi-perspective approach to policymaking and measures to ensure an equitable and resilient environment. Subsequent sessions and panels will expand on this theme, presenting new findings and state-of-the-science solutions to tackle environmental issues. This year’s 56th Annual Critical Review, titled “Data Fusion in Air Pollution Exposure Assessment: Methods, Applications, and Future Directions,” exemplifies the complex and interdisciplinary nature of the conference theme.

Now that you’re at ACE, it’s time to take advantage of the hundreds of presentations, multiple networking events, and dozens exhibitor booths to enrich your knowledge. Here are a few tips to get the most out of ACE this year:

·      Learn about different approaches for developing regulation and policy – Attend sessions on policy advances, permitting challenges, emissions inventories, new regulations, and environmental equity.

·      Learn the latest on hot and emerging topics – Attend AEESP/A&WMA Joint Lecture, sessions on PFAS, energy transitions, data center sustainability, AI applications in environmental management, sustainable materials, energy and industry response to climate change, electric power, NSR developments, new monitoring technologies, and innovations in modelling.

·      Learn from the important people in the various environmental sectors. Don’t hesitate to initiate dialogue with speakers, panelists, exhibitors, or other attendees, in person or through the conference mobile website.
