KTB Conference 2026: Stewards of the Lone Star State

The Keep Texas Beautiful Conference is the state’s premier gathering for community leaders committed to protecting and enhancing the places Texans call home. Guided by this year’s theme, Stewards of the Lone Star State, the conference celebrates the shared responsibility and opportunity to care for Texas communities today, and for generations to come.

Each year, the KTB Conference brings together Keep Texas Beautiful affiliates, community partners, volunteers, local government staff, elected officials, and industry leaders from across the state to connect, learn, and lead. Participants gain practical tools, fresh ideas, and renewed inspiration to strengthen local efforts in community beautification, waste reduction, recycling, and litter prevention.

At the conference, participants will:

• Celebrate and honor community excellence, recognizing leaders of all ages and the civic groups, businesses, and government entities shaping a cleaner, more resilient Texas

• Explore adaptable, innovative strategies through engaging educational sessions designed to support effective, locally driven solutions

• Build meaningful connections with peers and experts through dynamic presentations and networking opportunities that spark collaboration and lasting impact

With the keynote speaker announced and a schedule-at-a-glance now available, the Keep Texas Beautiful Conference invites you to step into your role as a steward of the Lone Star State—and return home ready to turn inspiration into action. The 2026 KTB Conference is online and accessible for all Texans to learn and grow as stewards.
