ANNOUNCING NEW TIMING
2026 JEPB-UNF Environmental Symposium
Mark your calendars for Friday, February 13th for our 2026 symposium!
After review of the 2024 rescheduled event, the Symposium Planning Team has decided to change the schedule from a fall event to a spring event. With that decision, we will not have our regularly scheduled October event this year. We are about to launch the planning process, so stay tuned for more information to come. We anticipate that pricing for the event will remain the same. Information on exhibit opportunities will be distributed soon.
We hope that you will save the date above and look forward to seeing you in February!
Objectives of the Symposium
Too often, community leaders focus on the issues of today, instead of clearly visioning the future. As an aid to seeing the path to the future, the City of Jacksonville’s Environmental Protection Board (JEPB) and the University of North Florida Institute of Environmental Research and Education annually present the Environmental Symposium. The symposium brings together residents, government agencies, utilities and innovators in a forum designed to foster an atmosphere of cooperation in environmental achievement. In addition to opening, lunch and closing general sessions, there are breakout sessions on topics of interest.
Background and Information
Each year the symposium presents a unique opportunity for members of the community to interact with the regulatory agencies responsible for developing and implementing environmental policy. Attendees have an opportunity to better understand environmental goals for our community. The symposium provides valuable opportunities for communication and helps to further the goal of protecting our limited natural resources and improving the quality of life in Northeast Florida.
