Convention and Trade Show

"The PLA Convention was extremely valuable to us as a small but growing organization. The learning sessions were directly relevant to challenges we face and were also structured in a way that made it easy to establish connections with peers in other organizations and share resources."

 "I look forward to attending the PLA Conference each year. I gain valuable insight in trends as well as great advice from others. I look forward to the tradeshow each year to find new products."

"You will not find a better place to meet with public lands champions across the country than at the PLA convention!"

 "The trade show was awesome! We are halfway through our season, my store is overflowing with merchandise, so my intent was to search for merchandise for next season. I found merchandise so wonderful with cost so reasonable that I placed orders for this season."

"Being among individuals who are so committed to stewardship not only strengthens your own resolve but also offers renewed hope, inspiration, and encouragement to continue the important work you are doing."

 "I came home with exciting ideas on how to improve our membership experience, broaden our volunteer base, continue to improve on board governance issues, and maybe even tackle strategic planning."

"I felt this year's conference was the best one in the past 3-4 years. The sessions were timely with good presenters, facilitators and discussions."

 "The PLA convention fills a vacuum of interpersonal connection amongst our public land champions. The chance to gather with hundreds of your colleagues to share ideas and stories is invaluable. There is no other event on the calendar that comes close to PLA’s convention."
