EECO is the premier conference and exposition focused on environment and energy issues in the Great Lakes economic region of Canada and the United States. EECO is a biennial ‘platform’ where business leaders, elected officials, public policy makers and NGOs meet to examine priority business and environment risks/opportunities.

EECO fosters dialogue and debate on building a future of sustainable economic growth coupled with environmental protection. EECO’s dynamic and strategically-focused program, environmental-solution oriented exposition and highly interactive forums deliver outstanding value to delegates, sponsors and partners.

The prestigious EECO 2005 Gala event will feature the GLOBE Awards for Environmental Excellence, designed to recognize Canadian companies that have successfully leveraged their commitment to environmental leadership into sustainable competitive advantage.

The GLOBE Award for Excellence in Brownfield Redevelopment will be also presented. Many local governments and private sector companies are realizing the economic development opportunities that brownfields present and have made great strides in returning these idle properties to productive use. This award is presented to a local government or private sector company or consortium which has demonstrated outstanding leadership in transforming a brownfield site into a thriving, revitalized community or business area.
