The Greater Ohio Policy Center (GOPC) is excited to announce it will host the 2027 Ohio Brownfields Conference on Tuesday, March 16th, 2027.
The 2027 Ohio Brownfields Conference will be at the spacious Quest Conference Center in Westerville, Ohio (near Polaris, off I-71) for the third year in a row! Quest Conference Center provides the 2027 Ohio Brownfields Conference with a full floor, including ample space for educational sessions, networking, and exhibitor space.
This will be GOPC's fifth year hosting the state brownfields conference after GOPC launched the Revitalizing Ohio's Brownfields Initiative in Summer 2021 to serve as a resource following the state's investment in brownfields grants. GOPC's advocacy efforts, coupled with requests from local communities and the private sector, has secured nearly one billion dollars in brownfield grant funding through the Brownfield Remediation Program (BRP). GOPC continues to advocate for additional funding for brownfield grants, and the 2027 conference will be timely with the state operating budget underway with a new Governor and Legislature.
As in years past, the 2027 Ohio Brownfields Conference will provide networking opportunities, trainings, and informative panel sessions.
The 2027 Ohio Brownfields Conference Planning Committee wants to hear from you! Please submit panel topics and ideas via the form below.
In total, GOPC anticipates 12 panel sessions throughout the day, with four panel sessions curated by the Ohio EPA to provide PDHU accreditation. Additionally, GOPC will work with APA Ohio, The Ohio Supreme Court, and other state organizations to offer additional training credits.
Sponsorship opportunities will be available in the coming weeks, so stay up to date on timely announcements! Sponsors are provided booth space in the exhibitor hall, and will be featured throughout the conference.
We look forward to seeing you in March! Please reach out to Aaron Clapper with any questions.
