Land We Share Utah Public Lands Summit 2026

The organizer said the previous year’s summit brought together more than 175 public lands advocates, Tribal leaders, recreation and conservation organizations, students, elected officials, and community members.

The 2026 summit was held at Westminster University.

The organizer lists public lands advocates, Tribal leaders, recreation and conservation organizations, students, elected officials, and community members.

It is best suited to Utah public lands advocates, Tribal representatives and conservation or recreation staff, since the day was anchored by keynote speaker Winona LaDuke and the audience also included students and elected officials. Those wanting a multi-day trade show or technical training would get less from a one-day regional summit drawing a crowd of a couple hundred at most.

Attendees at advocacy and conservation summits usually wear casual or business casual clothing, such as jeans or slacks with a fleece or sweater, and some Tribal leaders may wear traditional regalia. Early October in Utah can be cool, so layers are practical for a university campus.
