Active Living Conference

The Active Living + Outdoor Health Summit 2026 combines the best elements of the former Active Living Conference and the Global Outdoor Health Summit into a unified, multidisciplinary event. Grounded in the theme Stronger Together: Transforming Lives, Communities, and Planetary Health, the Summit explores how physical activity and nature experiences-both indoors and outdoors-can support preventive health, well-being, equity, and environmental sustainability. 

 The Summit provides opportunities for dialogue, shared learning, and collaboration across sectors including public health, planning, parks and recreation, tourism, environmental science, community development and management, academia, and allied organizations. Sessions will highlight research, policy, programs, and practices that advance active living and outdoor engagement as strategies to improve quality of life, social connection, mental and physical health, funding focus, and environmental resilience.  Registration includes access to all sessions, networking events, and Summit Experiences. Early registration is encouraged to secure your spot and take advantage of discounted rates.
