The National Wilderness Conference program will be the first national gathering of the wilderness community in 25 years and the highlight of a year's worth of events celebrating 50 years of American wilderness.

The conference will be filled with diverse plenary sessions, presentations, panels, exhibits, field learning, and skill development workshops, all culminating in the public, outdoor 'Get Wild' Festival. Pre-conference training, field trips, K-12 teacher workshops, and the People's Wilderness Film Gala will be offered before and after the conference. Audience-specific pre-conference trainings will be offered October 14-15; field trips including multi-day backpacking trips, day trips, and half-day trips are available before and after the conference.
