From the shipwreck shores of Alpena and its rural natural beauty, MAEOE is headed to Grand Rapids, a city alive with urban nature, for our 2024 conference. We are excited to explore downtown Grand Rapids, and all it has to offer from walking tours along the Grand River, to explorations of sustainability and urban infrastructure, all just a stone's throw from Lake Michigan shoreline.
Join us October 4 - 6, 2024, as MAEOE returns to the west side of the state for our annual conference.

Call for Proposals
In 2024, we want to emphasize sessions on the Great Lakes, climate change, outdoor education, and natural history.
Proposals with connections to Lake Michigan may achieve a higher priority.
Environmental and Outdoor Education sessions that demonstrate diversity and inclusivity will garner attention by the selection committee.
The Proposal Submission period has closed.
Thinking about submitting a session proposal that needs outdoor space?
Check out the map and slide show with photos of possible outdoor spaces at Grand Valley. One of them is sure to be perfect for your session!
Sites 8 and 9 are roughly a 10 minute walk from the main conference venue, so plan accordingly if you want to use these spaces.
