WHO WILL YOU REACH AT THE 2026 CNPS CONFERENCE?

Our most recent Conference attracted over 1,200 attendees from across California and beyond—scientists, conservationists, educators, policymakers, and industry leaders all working at the forefront of native plant solutions. This is where decisions take shape, where land managers and researchers collaborate, and where the next generation of leaders finds inspiration. Your sponsorship places you at the center of this—connecting you with the people shaping the future of conservation, restoration, and healthy landscapes.
