Registration is now open for the 2024 Kansas Field Conference!

Join us for the 2024 Kansas Field Conference! The Kansas Field Conference is organized and led by the Kansas Geological Survey each year to a different area of the state. The conference targets state legislators, governmental agency officials, business leaders, environmental leaders, and others in positions that make or influence state policy. The primary objective is to present policy makers with balanced, unbiased information about Kansas's natural resources. This year, the Kansas Field Conference will be headed to Manhattan and Marysville in northeastern Kansas.

Conference Dates: June 11 – 13, 2024

Registration Fee: $150

Lodging for the field conference will be at the Fairfield Inn, Manhattan, KS.
