Education & Training
VEC Annual Conference
VEC held its first annual conference in 2012. Initially VEC’s annual conference focused on water quality; more recently VEC has strived to use its annual conference to focus on a variety of topics relevant to Vermont’s environmental sector. VEC conferences are an opportunity for Vermont environmental professionals to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and stay update-to-date on current industry topics.
College students are encouraged to attend VEC conferences, as they are a unique chance to learn from industry leaders, engage in discussions about current environmental challenges, and explore potential career opportunities in Vermont.
