Sep 17, 2024

The AELERT-INECE 2024 Global Summit for Implementing and Enforcing Environmental Law is less than two months away and we are pleased to reveal all of our keynote and international guest speakers that you will be meeting in November!

Our special guests are bringing their depth of knowledge from the North, Central and South America, China and east Asia, East Africa, Europe, and our own backyard with delegates from Australia and New Zealand.

The breadth of regulatory subjects represented at the Summit mirrors the connective nature of the regulatory system we operate in.

These varied perspectives on shared challenges will allow us to grow our collective capabilities, develop deeper collaborative relationships for the future, and move environmental law and regulation forward, together.

The full event program will be released in a matter of days including details on over 100 speakers contributing to the program over the duration of the event.

This is an action-oriented event for regulators at all levels, and all levels of government to learn, grow, share, and set the foundation for greater collaboration in 2025 and beyond.

Standard release tickets are almost completely sold out, so secure your place today and register online at: AELERT-INECE 2024 Global Summit.

We would like to extend a special thank you to our special guests below as well as all those who have submitted an abstract for consideration and are able to join is at the AELERT-INECE 2024 Global Summit.
