The Annual LMOP Conference and Project Expo was one of the most anticipated conferences of the year! For this year's conference we were thrilled to return to the Hilton Baltimore in Baltimore, Maryland. Attendees learned about the latest projects, technologies and financial incentives; once again, the conference included technical presentations, exhibits, and a Project Expo. Listed below are the panels held at the conference and the speakers who presented.
