PARTNER WITH US!

We invite you to join as a conference sponsor to exhibit your commitment as a leader within the land trust community. The 31st Annual Maryland Land Conservation Conference will be held on September 4-5, 2024 at the Crowne Plaza Annapolis in Annapolis, Maryland, and will feature nearly 60 local, state, and national speakers!

This year’s theme “Gaining Ground: Plan. Connect. Communicate” examines how planning, stronger partnerships, and better communications can lead to change that benefits all. We face immense challenges of species loss, climate change, ecosystem tipping-points, and more – all while having to balance the need for greater housing, local foods, clean water, energy production and more. As a conference sponsor, you help us ensure the continuation of beneficial and informative workshops and presentations to advance land conservation and restoration in Maryland. Your support will help build a stronger and more enduring conservation community that will benefit future generations in Maryland and beyond.
