Annual Conference

MEEA welcomes environmental educators, formal and non-teachers, and students to attend and present at our longest running professional development opportunity – the MEEA Annual Conference. Our conference moves around the state each year in an effort to provide access throughout the massive and diverse state.

The Annual Conference provides networking opportunities, professional development sessions, and insights into environmental education programs and initiatives throughout Montana. While at the conference, visit with EE organization exhibitors and check out the silent auction, which funds for our Get ‘Em Outside Mini-Grant program.

Quotes from previous conference attendees:

“The MEEA conference is consistently one of the best professional development opportunities I participate in. Networking opportunities in Montana for environmental, outdoor, conservation, and place-based educators are few and far between, so the MEEA conference is critical to sustaining and advancing what we all do!”

“As a classroom teacher and nonprofit outdoor educator/ecologist, MEEA’s conference allows me to step back, reflect and put into focus what’s really important in my practice – the process of seeking to understand the people and places that I serve and call home.”

“So many amazing speakers, so much incredible information and resources, and such a great opportunity to connect and network!”

“The MEEA Conference is such a great way to connect with the Environmental Education network across Montana. I truly value the time spent learning new skills, increasing my awareness and meeting a diverse group of providers. You are my people!”

“I value the MEEA conference because it helps me be a continual learning. I really appreciated this year’s conference and how relevant all the presentations were. I enjoying connecting and hearing from experts in this field and related fields. Thanks for this opportunity!!!”
