Registration Open for River Rally 2016
We are excited to invite you to join us in Mobile, Alabama for this year’s River Rally. Every year, we work hard to put together a program that delivers rich content, engaging speakers, and great field trips in an open and supportive atmosphere conducive to connecting with old colleagues and making new friends.
This year’s program is particularly special. We begin with an Earth honoring ceremony and opening reception and close with the River Heroes Banquet and live music. In between, you’ll be kept busy with over 80 learning opportunities including plenaries designed to challenge your thinking, field trips to experience the unexpected at local rivers and swamps, movies that take you on a journey, and even a fun run in honor of World Fish Migration Day. We promise you that this year’s Rally will be worth the trip!
