    How to make the most of Rally 2026

    Get Connected

    The first step to a successful Rally experience is to download the app where you can view the schedule — including special events — send direct messages to attendees and post on the Rally feed.

    Engage prospects, partners and community networks on Facebook, lnstagram, X and Linked In using #Rally4Land. Post photos of your team at your Rally exhibit booth, in workshops or exploring Denver.

    Maximize your booth

    Exhibit booths serve as an essential space to reunite with partners and connect with prospects.

    Tips for success include:

    • Clearly articulate your values, goals and products or services.

    • Collect leads. Don't underestimate the power of a paper sign-up sheet. They're great for lead generation and to learn what Rally attendees are interested in.

    • Host a giveaway or contest with swag or prizes to drive booth engagement.

    • Display products/services and share success stories.

    Attend Rally sessions and activities

    Rally is the place for land conservationists to learn, connect and grow. The Alliance invites you to do the same! Download the app, where you can view the schedule -including special events -send direct messages to attendees and post on the Rally feed.

    • Attend a workshop or presentation that aligns with your mission and goals. Connect with conservationists in the session to learn how you can support their work.

    • Get to know conservationists in your local area by attending a regional reception.

    • Gather with the Alliance community at the welcome dinner and learn about the Alliance's goals and hopes for the future of land conservation.

    Keep on networking

    Looking for a more personal networking experience away from your booth? Invite partners and prospects to meet outside of the convention center. Denver is known for incredible food and drink. There are plenty of options within walking distance of the Rally venue.

    Benefactor, Patron and Lead sponsors should utilize their pre-plenary session to present products and make personal connections with participants

    And don't forget — take a breath

    Rally is an exciting, fast-paced four days. But Rally shouldn't feel frenetic. Give yourself permission to step back and collect your thoughts. Go on a quick walk in a Denver park!

    The Alliance knows even just a few minutes outdoors can positively boost your health and mental well-being.

    Land Trust Alliance mission and impact

    Mission: To save the places people need and love. 

    Roughly 150 acres of natural land and 85 acres of farmland are lost every hour in the U.S. That amounts to losing more than the entirety of Grand Canyon National Park every year. Once that land is gone, we can’t get it back. With every acre of land lost, we diminish our connection to nature.

    Rally’s impact

    The Alliance advances its mission by empowering and mobilizing land trusts in communities across America to conserve land — and connect people to the land — for the benefit of all. Rally attendees accelerate conservation, address climate impacts, stop biodiversity loss, make the outdoors accessible for all and more. Tools gained, lessons learned and connections made all go towards the Alliance’s goal for the land trust community – conserve an additional 60 million acres by the end of 2030.
