- **Event Name**: 2026 South Central Regional Conference - Lawrence
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 22 Feb, 2026 at 04:00 pm – Wed, 25 Feb, 2026 at 10:00 pm
- **Event Description**: We are thrilled to welcome you to the 2026 NAI South Central Regional Conference in historic Lawrence, Kansas! Nestled where the Kaw and Wakarusa river valleys meet, this region is a living mosaic with bottomland forests, winding wetlands, tallgrass prairie remnants, and the eastern woodlands all brush up against each other, creating the perfect backdrop for an interpreter’s imagination. Every sunrise here feels like a new story, migratory birds cruising overhead, prairie winds whispering through big bluestem, and cottonwoods creaking with history.

History lays heavy on this landscape. Lawrence’s human story is powerful, complicated, and vitally important. Founded by abolitionists in the heat of the national struggle over slavery, the
town endured violent raids and became a rallying point for voices like John Brown. Today, as home to the University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University, Lawrence embraces a diverse community of scholars, artists, and storytellers. It’s a place where the land and its people carry stories worth listening to.

That’s why our conference theme, “Stories of the Plains,” feels so right. This region holds layered narratives, ecological, historical, and cultural. As interpreters, we know the magic of helping those stories take flight.

Our conference home, the DoubleTree Hotel, has hosted many notable guests, including former President Barack Obama during his 2015 visit to KU. While you're here, we hope you dive into the stories woven throughout Lawrence:
• Field trips into the landscapes and historic sites that shaped Kansas and the Nation
• A Sunday night social at the Watkins History Museum
• A Tuesday night dinner in the beautifully repurposed Carnegie Library
• And plenty of chances to explore the community’s vibrant arts, food, and natural spaces

We hope this conference helps you sharpen your interpretive skills, make new connections, reunite with old friends, and gather fresh experiences to add to your own story.
