2024 UMRC - October 16 & 17 - Western IL University, Moline, IL

ABOUT

Join us in October for The Upper Mississippi River Conference at Western Illinois University, overlooking the Mississippi River. With the theme of 'Learning from Each Other' this year's goal is to engage every community member, no matter their position, on the benefits of a riverfront community and what impact we can have as stakeholders. This will be done through educational lectures, panel discussions, field tours, and hands-on activities at the conference. The conference will focus on collaboration across disciplines and generations. The newly added Next Gen Summit will give us an opportunity to empower future leaders, inspire solutions, and develop strategies for addressing persistent environmental concerns.
