Submit Conference Proposals by Feb. 10

The Delaware Association for Environmental Education (DAEE) is currently accepting presentation proposals for our 16th Annual Conference to be held March 22, 2025. DAEE is seeking presentations focused on equitably connecting all communities to nature and increasing E-Lit across the state. We strive for a wide selection of proposals that provide unique learning experiences and engage a broad spectrum of participants. Please see this year’s conference strand descriptions in the next section and consider submitting a proposal. DAEE’s Conference is a yearly opportunity to come together and learn for formal & non-formal educators, community leaders, and everyone who shares a desire to help Delaware’s diverse communities increase individual and collective Environmental Literacy (E-Lit). It is a day of networking, sharing, professional learning, community adult & young adult education, and hands-on experiences. Throughout the day we will explore Environmental Education (EE) initiatives, opportunities, resources, best practices, and local issues to foster impactful environmental stewardship. And we need YOUR help to continue the success of our annual Conference!

Conference and DAEE sponsorship

A great way to support DAEE, support our Annual Conference, support environmental literacy, support continuing education for our teaching professionals, AND support getting communities outside is to become a DAEE sponsor.

At our Annual Conference, if a sponsor is interested, they can have free exhibit space, free tickets as outlined below, advertisements or logos on the event brochure and DAEE website.  All sponsors are listed in our conference brochure and on our website. Learn more in our Sponsorship Letter.

One of our biggest benefits to our membership and contribution to environmental education in the state is our annual conference. Held every winter or early spring since 2010, this professional development opportunity for classroom and non-formal educators provides participants with current research, pedagogy, environmental education resources, and networking.

The DAEE conference is a yearly opportunity for formal and non-formal educators, community and scout leaders and anyone else sharing the desire to help all communities in Delaware connect to nature. It is a day of networking, professional development, sharing, and hands-on experiences. Throughout the day we explore environmental education opportunities, resources, best practices, and local issues to help foster environmental stewardship.

The conference typically includes a keynote presentation, concurrent sessions, an auction which funds our mini-grant program, and exhibits. We also hold our annual business meeting at the conference for all members that are interested. 

We try to move the conference between Delaware’s three counties from year to year, in order to maximize reach.
