Permitting Innovators Expo

The Permitting Innovators Expo aims to shape the future of environmental review and permitting through public-private collaboration. On July 31, 2026, up to 50 high-potential solutions will be showcased at the Permitting Innovators Expo at the Hilton Arlington Rosslyn The Key in the Washington, D.C. area. Each solution will have a dedicated space to demo their solution to federal agencies, influential leaders in environmental review and permitting, policymakers, and other practitioners. The Expo will allow federal agencies to explore curated solutions side by side, meet the teams behind them, and assess what could work in their contexts. Project sponsors and the public will gain an early look at solutions aimed at improving the permitting experience – from faster processes and clearer timelines to more reliable project delivery.
