SEJ's 31st Annual Conference

#SEJ2022 Houston, Texas   |   March 30-April 3

Due to pandemic restrictions, Boise State University — the host of SEJ's 2021 conference — has been forced to cancel the June 2-6, 2021 conference. SEJ hopes to reschedule this event for Spring 2023, so please stay tuned for details.

We are pleased to announce the confirmed dates for SEJ's 2022 Annual Conference: March 30-April 3, 2022, in Houston, hosted by Rice University. The #SEJ2022 conference will focus on environmental health and justice, energy and climate change, and oceans and coasts. Save those dates and watch this space. We'll announce details — including how you can contribute to the agenda — later this spring.

If you were organizing a tour or had submitted a panel proposal for the Boise conference, please hold on to your ideas, as we'll revisit all the options with our members and stakeholders in 2022.
