2024 UMRC - Coming October 16 and 17

The goal of The 2024 Upper Mississippi River Conference – Learning From Each Other – is to engage every community member, no matter their position, on the benefits of a riverfront community and what we can do as stakeholders. This will be done through educational lectures, discussions, field trips and workshops 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.

A discounted block of rooms are reserved at Hyatt Place East Moline / Quad Cities under "Upper Mississippi River" (Reference group "G-UPPM"). CLICK HERE to book your stay! Deadline to reserve a room is September 14th, 2024.
