Collaboration Summit 2026: Fire knows no boundaries

Event details and registration.

The Summit will be interactive; collaboration practitioners will set the stage for engagement, connecting participants with frameworks that can help to navigate natural resources challenges. Speakers will share wildland fire collaboration successes and challenges, ranging from wildland fire preparation to long-term ecosystem resilience on fire-prone landscapes, highlighting approaches and strategies. Sessions will include perspectives from communities, governments, industry, and the latest research.

This event is designed to bring together people from across Idaho and the west, with intentional time for networking.

Participants will gain 1) an understanding of collaborative approaches for wildland fire prevention, adaptation, and response; 2) ideas about applying these approaches in their community/region/area and to other challenging and potentially contentious natural resources issues; 3) strategies and on-the-ground tools for engaging across boundaries; and 4) new relationships that leverage “the wisdom in the room.
