Ecosystem Marketplace will be on hand at this year’s National Mitigation & Ecosystem Banking Conference to take place in Denver providing analysis and summaries of daily sessions as well as Q&As with key actors from the mitigation industry.

8 May 2014 | DENVER | The annual National Mitigation & Ecosystem Banking Conference kicked off here on Tuesday, with roughly 400 participants from across the mitigation banking spectrum. It has grown to over 400 attendees. A back-of-the-envelope calculation showed that just over half of the participants are mitigation bankers, while regulators comprise about 25%. Of these, the majority are from the federal government. Agriculture and finance were among the smallest contingents (see “Who’s Here?”, below).
