Coming to ATHENS, GA
SEPTEMBER 10 – 11, 2026
“The Outdoor Recreation & Trail Summit aims to increase the capacity of local governments & advocates to create trail & outdoor recreation opportunities while advocating for greater statewide investment in these areas.”
–George Dusenbury, Trust for Public Land’s Georgia State Director
The Georgia Outdoor Recreation & Trail Summit is the event for outdoor enthusiasts to learn, experience & advocate for the outdoors. Stellar mobile workshops, influential speakers & excellent networking make the Summit the place to be for those who care about connecting people to the outdoors.
Trust for Public Land and the Georgia Outdoor Recreation Coalition are excited to integrate the Trail Summit into the Bike-Walk-Live Summit. Pooling resources with our long-time partner Go Georgia (Formerly Georgia Bikes) will result in a more robust Summit and an even better experience for participants.
As always, this year’s summit will offer a variety of learning opportunities, from informative plenary sessions to engaging and active mobile workshops that highlight and improve on what makes Georgia bikeable, walkable, and livable, from complete streets and greenways to trails for walking, biking, rolling, and paddling!
Go Georgia will lead and facilitate targeted sessions and mobile workshops on Thursday, 9/10, in and around downtown Athens. All other sessions and mobile workshops proposed through the RFP form will be held on day two (Friday, 9/11) at the beautiful Georgia Museum of Art. Registration/hotel block info and sponsorship details will be available on the GO-GEORGIA website soon. For more information about sponsoring this year’s summit, contact jd@go-georgia.org.
