CONNECT + 2026

CONNECT+ will be held on March 31-April 2, 2026, at the Seaside Civic & Convention Cen ter, in Seaside, Oregon.

CONNECT+ is more than a conference; it's a platform for change-makers in conservation. We bring together local, state, and federal decision-makers, professionals from Watershed Councils, Conservation Districts, Land Trusts, and other support organizations dedicated to preserving our state's natural resources.

Our comprehensive program covers both the technical and administrative aspects of conservation implementation. It's designed for:

• ​Rural and urban conservation implementation
• Managerial and administrative functions
• Policy development and discussion
• Education and outreach activities

At CONNECT+, you'll gain access to specific, relevant content about current and potential conservation issues. It's an opportunity to learn from the field's brightest, most innovative conservationists.

By attending CONNECT+, you're not just participating in a conference. You're joining a network of passionate individuals committed to advancing Oregon's conservation efforts.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to influence and shape the future of conservation in Oregon.
