Conferences

EECOM’s National Conferences are Canada’s largest, regular gatherings of environmental and sustainability stakeholders, and provide unparalleled professional development and networking opportunities. 

Frequently hosted in communities across Canada, these events incorporate outdoor learning as an integral part of the conference and provide conference participants with opportunities to explore and learn about different parts of our diverse nation and its diverse ecosystems.

Formed through collaborative partnerships with local entities, EECOM's national conferences have remained pivotal in fostering regional capacity building for environmental and sustainability education over nearly three decades.

Upcoming Conference

This year’s conference is presented in partnership with Take Me Outside,  The Outdoor Learning Store, and the Global, Environmental and Outdoor Education Council of Alberta (GEOEC).

The overarching theme for the 2024 Outdoor Learning Conference is “Place and Pedagogy: Where Learning Happens”. This year’s Conference will continue to focus on Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Health and Wellbeing, and Environmental and Climate Change Education.
