The APWA Sustainability in Public Works Conference is designed to explore and promote the evolving role of public works professionals in the creation of sustainable communities. Sustainability is a cross-cutting concept that touches all aspects of public works. The demands for economic, social, and environmental responsibility are increasing daily. Enhance the vitality of your community by joining APWA’s brightest leaders and innovators for an inside view of the sustainability revolution in public works.

Explore the sustainability frameworks, tools and resources you need to succeed when implementing sustainability practices in your agency. Engage yourself in discussions with public works sustainability experts, and learn about the successes and challenges they face while forging their way to a greener and more sustainable future. Exhibitors will also be on hand to showcase the many new products and services available to help you take steps towards being a sustainable agency.
