Chicago Virtual Symposium 2020
Green Infrastructure and Social Justice in the Windy City
Overview
This three-hour event features industry experts and local policy leaders presenting on green infrastructure design and policy within a Chicago context. Industry leaders will share best practices, new policy requirements, resilience planning with green infrastructure and social equity.

Naomi Davis, President & Founder at BIG: Blacks in Green™ will help make sure this concept is top of mind in her presentation. This event will be entirely virtual and provide attendees with the opportunity to engage with experts through polling, interactive panels, and messaging.
