Environmental Journalism 2019 will take place in Fort Collins, Colorado, hosted by Colorado State University. Colorado simultaneously boasts and suffers from a population explosion in Denver and other cities. This purple state is fertile ground for both clashes and collaborations among parties vying for rights to land, water and air, whether to preserve it for wildlife and human recreation or to exploit it for energy extraction. And it is fertile ground for stories! Visit the conference website [12]. See the draft agenda [27], find a hotel and roommates [28] or sponsor, advertise or exhibit [29].

[36]SEJ’s Oklahoma conference will take you to renowned centers of research and operations in severe weather, oil exploration, climate and water conservation. You’ll enjoy a state with nearly a dozen ecoregions, from rolling hills to vast plains, from prairies to forested valleys.

Host and sponsor: The University of Oklahoma

"Risk and Resilience" is SEJ's theme for a packed series of events for this conference, Sep 3-7, 2014. New Orleans and south Louisiana are the poster children for both risk and resilience in the 21st Century. Yet, New Orleans is also a place where we can eat, drink, dance, listen to music and generally partake of the whole spectrum of humanities' offerings, and all this with the climate change monster right outside the door. You will leave this conference motivated, empowered and well-connected with story leads, political context, new insights, contacts, research data, experiences and enhanced skills for effective storytelling on relevant issues. Check out the draft agenda, [38] lodging/travel, [39] find a roommate [40] (members only), advertise/exhibit [41] and more. Tours fill fast, so don't delay — register now [42]!

Saving a city from the nation's dirtiest air, grappling with stormwater pollution, facing new climate extremes, treating toxic risks, building cleaner energy, growing new foods, embracing cutting edge technologies and still gaining new jobs are just a few lessons to learn from Chattanooga during SEJ's 2013 conference, hosted by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga and the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

This fall, SEJ is headin’ up and movin’ out to Lubbock, Texas [47] for an unparalleled Western adventure on the High Plains, hosted and sponsored by Texas Tech University.
