About PLA 2027

The PLA annual Convention and Tradeshow is where public land nonprofit organizations and their supporters come together to learn, grow, and together, chart a resilient path forward for our most treasured places.

This year's theme, Innovation for Impact, challenges us to reimagine what's possible for public lands partnerships by embracing new ideas and creating meaningful solutions that strengthen stewardship, access, engagement, and sustainability for generations to come.
