What is the Keep America Beautiful National Conference?
The Keep America Beautiful National Conference serves as a prestigious educational platform and forum, providing valuable opportunities for affiliate participants to broaden their expertise, exchange experiences related to their triumphs and hurdles, contribute insights regarding optimal approaches, and engage in meaningful networking with like-minded professionals.
Our primary objective is to organize a yearly event that delivers educational sessions, training workshops, and networking opportunities for our valued National Affiliate Network, esteemed partners, respected sponsors, related peer organizations, and individuals who share a passionate interest in attaining excellence in any of Keep America Beautiful’s key realms, namely litter eradication, recycling enhancement, and community beautification initiatives.
Together is Beautiful: Keep America Beautiful National Conference 2025
As we gather in Washington, D.C., in February 2025 (February 10-13 at the Washington Hilton, 1919 Connecticut Ave. NW) for our national conference, our theme is clear: Together is Beautiful.
In 2024 KAB leaned into our namesake: “beauty.” We pledged to continue to clean our communities and lead recycling efforts through the good work of KAB affiliates and partners. In 2025 we seek to lean into advocacy, The Greatest American Cleanup and focus on our key pillars to continue our work.
How fortunate are we to have beauty at the center of all we do? In an era of real divisions, Keep America Beautiful stands as a beacon of unity. Under our banner, people from all walks of life work together for the common good of our communities and environment, transforming both the physical and the human landscapes.
Our recent Harris Poll revealed that two-thirds of Americans view our work as a pathway to stronger communities, with nearly as many believing it fosters more neighborly relationships. Remarkably, more than a quarter of Americans believe that working together to clean up litter can even reduce political tensions.
During the conference, together we will visit Capitol Hill to advocate for the importance of our mission and engage legislators in conversation about The Greatest American Cleanup. Beyond this, the conference will offer valuable opportunities to network, learn, and be inspired by esteemed plenary speakers.
