The event is held in Portland, Oregon.
The program refers to Annual Conference attendees and Research Symposium attendees as separate participant groups.
It is most useful for environmental education practitioners and researchers who want both field-facing and research content, since the Research Symposium and the Annual Conference run in parallel with overlapping sessions on October 7 and optional field trips and workshops. People outside environmental education, or those able to attend only a day, would get less from it, as the program spans several days from October 6 to 9 and relies on add-on events for hands-on depth.
Attendees at environmental education conferences usually wear relaxed business casual, with outdoor-ready layers and sturdy shoes for field trips, and a rain jacket suits Portland in October.
