The National Conference is Keep America Beautiful’s premier annual educational and training forum presented for the benefit of our national affiliate network, volunteers and partner organizations. The 2016 National Conference will be held February 1 - 3, 2016 at the Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista in Orlando, FL. Sessions will focus on:

• The growing concern around litter, blight and its cost (environmental and economic) to communities

• How utilizing KAB’s behavior change strategies have positive lasting impact

• Translating how and why we measure (outcomes) into increased economic benefit (outputs)

Discussions and sessions will allow for a better understanding of litter and its growing concerns in municipalities, cities, towns and communities across the network. We will explore marine/water based debris and produce activities and other groups/initiatives to link the economic development and quality of life that communities strive to positively achieve.
