The Growing Sustainable Communities Conference offers innovation, education, inspiration, and collaboration on growing sustainable communities. Sessions feature presenters with a wide range of expertise, including representatives from federal, state, and local governments, along with business and academic leaders from across the country. In addition to learning sessions, the conference includes two keynote luncheons, mobile workshops, a breakfast plenary session, and more! Visit us at the Iowa Flood Center and IIHR table! 

The program offers sponsored visits to various campus sites during normal working hours, providing opportunities to learn about innovative programs like the Driving Safety Research Institute, Recreational Services, University Libraries, Hancher, Pentacrest Museums, and more. Visit us at our table! 

We invite you to join us as an exhibitor at the 40th Annual Prairie Preview on Wednesday, May 14 from 4:30-7 p.m. at the Iowa Memorial Union International Ballroom. Last year, nearly 300 people attended, making it a fantastic opportunity to connect with the community! This year, we are once again dedicating the entire event to community building and networking, without a keynote speaker, to foster meaningful conversations and engagement. Stop by the IIHR and Iowa Flood Center exhibit for interactive demonstrations on how to understand and reduce your flood risk. Bur Oak Land Trust's Prairie Preview 40 Exhibitor Fair is made possible a through partnership with the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of Iowa.
