About PLA 2027

The Public Lands Alliance (PLA) Annual Convention and Trade Show is the premier gathering for the nonprofit partners, public agencies, and mission-driven businesses that support America’s public lands. Each year, the event brings together leaders from across national parks, forests, refuges, and other public lands to exchange ideas, strengthen partnerships, and explore innovative solutions that advance stewardship, education, and visitor engagement.

Part conference, part marketplace, and part community-building experience, PLA 2027 offers inspiring keynote speakers, practical training sessions, peer learning, and the only trade show dedicated specifically to the public lands partner community. Attendees connect directly with exhibitors offering retail products, services, technology, and resources tailored to nonprofit partners and public land agencies.

More than an event, PLA 2027 is where the public lands community comes together to build relationships, spark new ideas, and shape the future of partnerships that protect and enhance treasured places for generations to come.
