Alaska Forum on the Environment
February 12, 2018 - February 16, 2018
The Alaska Forum on the Environment (AFE) is a statewide gathering of environmental professionals from government agencies, non-profit and for-profit businesses, community leaders, Alaskan youth, conservationists, biologists and community elders. The diversity of attendees sets this conference apart from any other. The 2018 event will be our 20th year providing a strong educational foundation for all Alaskans and a unique opportunity to interact with others on environmental issues and challenges. It will be held the week of February 12-16, 2018.
As many as 1,800 people attend AFE at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage, Alaska to learn more about the environment and meet other Alaskans that work in the environmental field or are interested in the environment. The Planning Committee includes representatives from the: US Environmental Protection Agency, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, Department of the Interior, US Forest Service, CH2M Hill, University of Alaska, ConocoPhillips, and many others.
The Forum provides an opportunity for State, local, Federal, military, private, and Native leaders and professionals to come together and discuss the latest projects, processes, and issues that affect us here in Alaska.
The main Forum sessions will be Monday through Thursday. Friday of the Forum supports more focused sessions on topics that may take a full comprehensive day.
