General Conference Information
General information about the Integrated Infrastructure Conference (IIC)
-
The IIC is hosted in partnership by the Michigan Infrastructure Council (MIC), Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC) and Water Asset Management Council (WAMC).
The IIC was built off the success and tenure of past annual TAMC conferences, expanding the content to cover asset management best practices across the various infrastructure classes and sectors, including transportation, drinking water, wastewater, storm water, energy, and communications, while still holding space for the same sessions featured at past TAMC conferences.
-
The conference is held biennially (every other year).
The conference location is rotated on a regional basis, with our first conference held in Southwest Michigan in 2024, our next event planned for Southeast Michigan in 2026, and an intent to hold the 2028 event in Northern Michigan.
The inaugural conference, held in August 2024 in Grand Rapids, featured around 230 attendees and sessions from more than 50 infrastructure experts.
After initial success, our 2026 event will be held at the School Craft College’s Vistatech Center in Livonia Michigan on September 23rd and 24th, 2026.

Asset Management is the ongoing process of maintaining, preserving, upgrading, and operating physical assets cost-effectively, based on a continuous physical inventory and condition assessment and investment to achieve performance goals
The IIC covers topics like capital improvement planning, infrastructure’s role in economic development, data collection and management, emerging technology, policy, workforce, funding, and other topics related to these types of infrastructure asset management.

The IIC does not directly cover the following fields of “asset management:”
- IT Asset Management (ITAM) - the practice of tracking and managing an organization's hardware, software, and cloud resources throughout their entire lifecycle
- Financial Asset Management - the professional practice of investing, monitoring, and growing an individual's or institution's portfolio of assets, including developing personalized strategies across stocks, bonds, and real estate to maximize returns while strictly minimizing risk
