National Outdoor Recreation Conference

NORC is the premiere conference for outdoor recreation professionals with opportunities for learning, networking, and field-based case studies. During each conference, we create a program that inspires, challenges, and empowers the broad community of outdoor recreation professionals.

The 2026 conference will take place in Duluth, MN in partnership with Duluth Area Outdoors Alliance. The engaging program will include 4 days of classroom and field workshops, concurrent sessions, and a stellar lineup of keynotes. Conference registration opens in early 2026.
