Regional Connect Events

Building on the success of our inaugural Regional Connects in 2025, SPLC is thrilled to expand the program for 2026. Last year’s strong engagement and thoughtful dialogue proved the immense value of regionally focused, peer-driven gatherings. These events offer a unique space for sustainable procurement leaders, solution providers, and changemakers to tackle shared challenges and learn directly from one another to advance sustainable procurement at scale.

Registration coming soon!

Spring 2026 SPLC Regional Connect Events

Each 2026 Regional Connect is intentionally designed for deep-dive learning and relationship-building across sectors. Programming will feature practitioner-led discussions, real-world case examples, and opportunities to engage directly with peers working to advance sustainable procurement in their organizations.

Spots are limited to ensure a highly interactive experience. Keep an eye out for registration details coming soon!

Two additional Regional Connect events in Boston, MA and the San Francisco Bay Area, CA are planned for Fall 2026, with details to be announced in March.

Share Your Expertise: 2026 SPLC Speaking Opportunities

We are officially looking for members, partners, and innovators to help shape our 2026 programming. We invite you to submit session topics that spark conversation and drive peer-to-peer learning.

We will be prioritizing "real-world" stories—the kind that dive into both the big wins and the honest lessons learned from challenges. If you have a perspective that can inspire your peers and strengthen our collective impact, we want to hear from you.

Where You Can Make an Impact:

You can use the submission link below to propose topics for any of the following:

• Spring Regional Connects: In-person events in Chicago and Los Angeles.

• SPLC Monthly Webinar Series: Virtual sessions reaching our global network throughout the year.

• Fall Regional Connects: Our second round of regional gatherings later this year.

Key Deadlines:

• Chicago & Los Angeles Submissions: Due by Friday, February 20.
