Join the AIPG Michigan Section June 16–17, 2026, at the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center in Roscommon for a one-of-a-kind Environmental Risk Management Workshop where problem solving, partnerships, and networking are as central as technical learning.
Focused on Smarter Decisions, this highly interactive forum brings environmental professionals together to explore how better data, emerging technologies, and collaborative approaches are improving investigation, remediation, and redevelopment outcomes. Through case studies, hands-on demonstrations, and peer exchange, participants work through real-world challenges and practical solutions.
High-level topic areas include:
Data Quality & Integrity – defensible data, QA/QC, and lifecycle management
Smarter Decision Tools – AI/ML applications, modeling, visualization, GIS, and 3D/4D site models
Risk-Based Frameworks – regulatory guidance, tiered evaluations, and effective risk communication
PFAS & Emerging Contaminants – analytical challenges, treatment strategies, and evolving standards
Applied Case Studies – approaches that reduce uncertainty, time, cost, and liability
Participation is open to professionals, vendors, and students from consulting, industry, government, laboratories, academia, and technology development. Attendees may contribute by presenting, demonstrating tools, leading discussions, or actively engaging in this collaborative working forum. Technical, educational vendor presentations and outdoor demonstrations are encouraged; sales or marketing-focused presentations will not be accepted
