About the Event
From February 6-8, 2026 an international research symposium will be held at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly Conference Center in Black Mountain, NC, USA (https://blueridgeassembly.org/). The 17th Biennial Coalition for Education in the Outdoors (CEO) Research Symposium will be Coordinated by 2nd Nature TREC (Training, Research, Education, Consulting).
The purpose of this gathering is to advance the empirical, conceptual, and theoretical bases of outdoor education. Like the first sixteen CEO Research Symposia, this symposium will bring together a wide array of researchers to explore current and future trends in using the outdoors for educational and therapeutic purposes. In addition to spotlighting current research, the program includes featured presentations on timely issues and ample time for both structured and informal dialogue. The last symposium was held in 2024 (see photo gallery). We are thrilled to meet in person again at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain, NC, USA.
