More information on E2i

E2i will be held on September 17-19, 2024 in Kansas City, MO! E2i is a national meeting for the environmental protection community that creates opportunities to connect with other community members, share your successes and challenges, and learn about best practices in environmental protection.  
 
E2i builds on a long-standing series of Exchange Network and E-Enterprise national meetings that have convened since the early 2000s. After a long hiatus due to the COVID pandemic, we are excited to reinvigorate this meeting with a new name and new opportunities for learning and interaction. 
  
Many more details on the meeting will be coming soon!
