2026 Annual Conference
Join us this September at Pickwick Landing State Park for the 2026 Tennessee Environmental Education Association Conference. This year’s theme, Currents of Change: Education at the Intersection of Power, Place, and Progress, invites educators and partners to explore how environmental education can shape resilient communities and informed action across Tennessee.
Submit a Proposal
We invite educators, researchers, students, community leaders, and environmental professionals to share their knowledge, ideas, and experiences at the 2026 TEEA Conference, Currents of Change: Education at the Intersection of Power, Place, and Progress.
This year's conference strands each represent a distinct current of change. Together, they channel energy in different ways—from expanding access and fostering belonging to advancing research, strengthening practice, and re-centering foundational approaches. Like circuits within a shared system, they spark innovation, build capacity, and ground the field—collectively powering a more resilient and forward-moving vision for environmental education in Tennessee and beyond.
Whether you are sharing an innovative lesson, emerging research, a successful partnership, a place-based approach, or lessons learned through practice, we want to hear from you. Submit a proposal and join educators from across Tennessee and beyond as we explore the ideas, connections, and practices shaping the future of environmental education.
