AAEE 2026 Annual Conference (11 Sep 2026)

AAEE ANNUAL CONFERENCE

AAEE is honored to plan and coordinate an annual conference each year. Our conferences are designed to explore cutting-edge topics, share ideas with each other, and support those new to the field of environmental education.

AAEE’s annual conference provides a space for networking with other EE professionals, sharing successes and challenges from the past year, developing new skills and learning new tools, and engaging in meaningful conversations about the future of environmental education in Arizona. Our conferences and all of our events are as inclusive as possible. We keep registration fees reasonable, offer pay-what-you-can options, and split the event between weekdays and weekends. We host in-person conferences in a welcoming space with an organization that shares our values. We invite an array of speakers and raise up the voices of those typically underrepresented in our field.

September 11-13, 2025, Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff. This year's theme, "Sustaining the Stewards" is meant to demonstrate the importance of caring for yourself and your team members through challenging times. The three day event will include a convening of Arizona State University's working group for Sustainability Education on Friday, September 11, from 9am - 2pm (read more about the pre-conference event here). Held in Flagstaff at the Elk's Lodge and Northern Arizona University's University Union Field House, this is an event you won't want to miss.
