Home - Bill Lane Center for the North American West
Conferences

The conferences sponsored by the Bill Lane Center are at the heart of our effort to bridge the worlds of academia, public policy, business, journalism, and arts and culture. Their structure emphasizes discussion over presentation, and their participants are drawn from a wide range of backgrounds and professions. By bringing people together who might not otherwise have the opportunity to talk to one another, the Center brings a fresh perspective on some of the major issues animating this region and shaping its future.

UPCOMING CONFERENCES

The Center research staff is developing a Rural West Project.  For more about the project and its goals, please click here .
