conference SCHEDULE

Between the pre-conference workshops, regional meet-ups, concurrent sessions, and virtual networking opportunities, this year's virtual conference aims to send virtual conferences out with bang!

We can't wait for in-person events and seeing environmental educators together again, which has made us work even harder to create an engaging, dynamic, and interactive experience for all who participate!  

Check out our line up of keynote speakers, regional meet-ups, and pre-conference workshops in the Conference Schedule. Once registered, you'll gain full access to the schedule and you can build your own lineup of sessions!​

This year we will be celebrating 45 years of excellence in environmental education. While environmental education continues to evolve in our current virtual / hybrid context, our role as educators is more vital than ever.

2021 conference attendees will enjoy dynamic presenters, sessions, roundtables, and virtual social events as well as healthy in person outdoor meet-ups across the state!
