About Our Conference At a time when most public policy has become a partisan issue, WI Land+Water points the way forward for land and water conservation in Wisconsin. We advocate for local conservationists who work directly with farmers and landowners to solve real problems that affect our lakes, streams, farmland, and forests. With our partners, we get things done.

Our 71st Annual Conference provides a unique opportunity to connect and strengthen relationships with local conservation staff and county supervisors, as well as their supporting partners and agencies. The conference brings together over 500 conservation professionals to celebrate accomplishments, discuss challenges, and chart new ways to improve land and water resource management in Wisconsin and beyond.

The Sponsor Exhibition at our Annual Conference is an excellent opportunity to showcase your products, services, or research directly to resource professionals in a dynamic, social atmosphere. Attendees include conservation field staff, policymakers, academics, elected officials, and resource professionals working for county, agency, and private or nonprofit sectors. Exhibition tables are displayed in a high traffic area, located outside the breakout rooms and where our social hour takes place.

Join our celebration of conservation!
