Registration is open for the ExchangeMonitor’s newly revamped Global Environmental Management Forum & Showcase, formerly the Decisionmakers’ Forum.
The event, scheduled for Nov. 1-3 at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, D.C., will offer decision makers in the nuclear industry an opportunity to discuss new markets and new technologies being developed to reduce nuclear dangers and nuclear waste, both in the United States and abroad. The forum aims to heighten awareness of the broad scope of programs and projects underway around the world, promote increased participation in global dialogue, and emphasize new technologies for managing waste and environmental management issues.
The theme for 2016 is Building a Strategic Outlook for Nuclear Decision Makers. Just some of the topics to be discussed include emerging technologies, decommissioning and demolition, large capital projects, engaging a new generation of workers, and status updates from sites in the U.S. and other nations.
More details, along with the registration portal, can be found here. The agenda will be updated regularly heading into the forum.
