The Lake Roosevelt Forum (LRF) is pleased to announce new conference dates for fall 2026! LRF conferences have a long history of serving as the region’s leading gathering place for natural resource professionals, and we are excited to bring them back after a COVID-induced hiatus and a further postponement of our efforts due to the federal shutdown last fall. With this added delay in mind, our theme for the 2026 conference remains “Reconnecting for the Future.” Please save the dates to join us at the CenterPlace in Spokane Valley, Washington on November 18 and 19, 2026.
We are excited to reconvene the broad array of individuals and organizations who have attended our conferences in the past while welcoming new faces and introducing them to the community and the essential work being done throughout the Lake Roosevelt basin. During our last conference in 2019, we had 299 participants that included opinion leaders, elected officials, natural resource managers, policy makers, environmentalists, businesses, and engaged citizens from throughout the region. Together, we shared information and found opportunities for increased collaboration and coordination while taking a deep dive into issues, innovations, and opportunities with transboundary, regional, and local implications.
The 2026 Lake Roosevelt Forum Conference promises to once again provide a unique opportunity to foster this kind of collaboration, coordination, and communication. Over the coming months, we will keep you posted on details about the agenda, including keynote speakers, sessions, registration, and more to make this event a wonderful experience for all. For now, mark your calendars and save the dates!
