The Healing Our Waters-Great Lakes Coalition is excited to announce that the 2024 Great Lakes Conference will be held from Thursday, September 26 to Friday, September 27 in Chicago, Illinois.
We’ll be having two days of interesting breakout sessions, thought-provoking plenaries, a fabulous reception, fun field trips, and plenty of time for relationship building and networking. Advocates from across the region attend and vary from university students to policy analysts to environmental justice leaders, and everyone in between.
Breakout sessions at the conference provide valuable insights, unique stories, and practical hands-on training relevant to Great Lakes advocacy and restoration. Though not an exhaustive list, potential topic areas can include: Great Lakes policy issues; innovative and compelling Great Lakes restoration stories and case studies; addressing environmental injustices; and Great Lakes research. Field trips complement conference topics, allow participants to see first-hand the important work being done by Coalition members and partners, and let participants experience the culture and unique identity of the host city.
