WSRA 2027 Conference 2027
The WSRA 2026 Annual Conference (May 4‑7, 2026) at Tulalip Resort Casino focuses on waste‑reduction innovation and equity. It features nearly 20 breakout tracks and about 40 sessions covering key categories such as solid‑waste policy (NextCycle), reuse and circularity, extended producer responsibility, furniture circularity, waste in schools, organics implementation and diversion, and the Recycling Reform Act. Highlights include a silent auction fundraiser, the Recycler of the Year awards, and two pre‑conference tours (soil‑health research at WSU’s NW Washington Research Center and a recycling/composting tour at Lautenbach Recycling/Skagit Soils). The event offers scholarships and community‑support grants to reduce financial barriers, and emphasizes partnership with the Tulalip Tribes to advance BIPOC equity. Registration tiers range from full‑conference member/non‑member rates to one‑day passes, with early‑registration deadlines on March 30 and regular registration April 11‑May 4.
