2020 Virtual Environmental Conference Hosted by the Midwestern States Environmental Consultants Association A conference dedicated to advancing the professional competence of attendees through education and dissemination of environmental information relevant to the world’s leading businesses. MSECA is very excited to announce that we will be hosting our 2020 Environmental Conference as an online virtual event. The Conference will be held over four days with over 15 hours of education along with additional opportunities to socialize and network before and after the education. Our first two virtual events in May and August had record breaking attendance, but we’re going to take it up a notch for our Conference by utilizing a virtual conference platform that allows attendees to easily connect with each other, collaborate, and move freely from table to table - much like at an in-person conference.
