The annual Wildlife & Energy Symposium, hosted by Burns & McDonnell, brings together colleagues focused on planning and permitting our country’s renewable energy and transmission infrastructure. The goal of this event is to facilitate open discussion, share experiences and find solutions to the challenges and opportunities we all face in safely building our energy future. This year’s Wildlife & Energy Symposium will be a one-and-a-half-day event focused on key industry topics such as regulatory updates, compliance, threatened and endangered species, community outreach, technology and innovation and more.
