All you need to know about the Kansas and Missouri Environmental Education Virtual Conference
KACEE and MEEA are hard at work planning our second fun and interactive virtual conference, bringing together both of our EE communities, presenters from both states, and lots of ways to engage with each other in an online setting! We opted to go virtual again this year, as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.
The conference will be held Wednesday, November 3rd through Saturday, November 6th, largely in the afternoon-evening timeframe, and with several options for engagement including live and pre-recorded sessions – decided via feedback we received from all of you on your preferences. We will be using Accelevents as our conference platform!
We have decided on five strand topics, including EE in the Classroom, Green Schools, Justice/Equity/Diversity/Inclusion in EE, EE in the Community, and Early Childhood.
Per feedback after last year's event, the 2021 Conference will be a four-day event rather than six days.

We will be adding details to our tentative conference schedule, so keep checking back!
