2026 Convetion Program Submissions

The Montana Association of Conservation Districts invites conservation district staff, supervisors, partners, and other stakeholders to help shape the 2026 Convention!

We’re planning three informative days featuring:

  • Breakout sessions and workshops
  • Training opportunities
  • Networking with conservation leaders and district peers statewide

What we’d love to hear from you:
Submit your ideas and proposals for session topics, guest speakers, panel discussions, or interactive training relevant to conservation districts in Montana. Whether it’s practical skill-building, policy or legislative insights, emerging conservation technologies, community outreach and education, or district governance – your topic could fill a breakout room!

Planning meetings are open to all and held monthly via Zoom. Your participation is encouraged to help us build a compelling agenda!
