KAEE Early Bird Conference Registration is Now Open!

KAEE's 35th Annual Conference will take place on September 16-17, 2011 at The Brown Hotel in Louisville.



Are you interested in getting professional development experience, learning more about the field of environmental education, and having a great time? Join us for workshops sessions, exhibitors, networking, speakers, and more! The KAEE conference is open to people from all walks of life- teachers, administrators, government and agency personnel, business and industry representatives and private citizens. We welcome anyone with an interest in the environment and education. Please join us in our mission to "build a sustainable environment through education".

This year's conference theme is Environmental Education: Everywhere for Everyone. We all know that environmental education is at home in the forests and fields, but it has a well-established foot-hold in the cities as well. Urban gardening, green building design, and cleaner transportation are all areas of focus in population centers. Wherever people live, there is a need for environmental education. 

 Don't delay! Registration is now open!  There is a limited number of slots available for workshops that require pre-registration so register now to ensure you will get a spot!  For information about workshops that require pre-registration, please see our Onsite and Offsite Workshop Pre-Registration Brochure.  More information on the conference will be coming soon.  To register now, visit our conference page at www.kaee.org/conference.

On Friday, our keynote speaker will be Dudley Edmonson, author of "Black & Brown Faces in America's Wild Places".  Dudley Edmonson is a nature photography, filmmaker, author, and all around outdoor enthusiast.  On Saturday, our keynote speaker will be Dr. Mamie Parker, a professional fish and wildlife biologist.  For more information on our keynote speakers, please visit www.kaee.org/conference/keynote-speakers.
