The Integrated Infrastructure Conference (IIC) is held every other year and hosted jointly by the Michigan Infrastructure Council (MIC), the Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC), and the Water Asset Management Council (WAMC). Built off the success of past TAMC conferences, the inaugural IIC was held on August 13th and 14th, 2024, in Grand Rapids, MI, with the theme of "Fostering a Culture of Asset Management for a Brighter Future." The first conference hosted around 230 attendees and featured sessions from over 50 infrastructure experts from across all asset classes.

The content of the IIC explores opportunities and highlights collaboration and coordination across various asset classes, including transportation, drinking water, wastewater, storm water, energy, and communications. Conference attendees come from across the infrastructure sectors and various organizational levels including: federal, state, and municipal governments, elected officials, private and public utilities, regional agencies and authorities, consultants and contractors, nonprofits and academic organizations, and trade organizations.
