Join us December 4-6, 2024 in Tucson, Arizona for the AZ WUI Summit: Partnering to Build Wildfire Resilient Communities!
Presented by The AZ Wildfire Initiative, Northern Arizona University School of Forestry, and the Southwest Fire Science Consortium.
About the Summit
The Arizona Wildland Urban Interface Summit is a statewide event for wildfire preparedness, planning, and postfire recovery. Participants will discuss emergent strategies for landscape-scale wildfire planning and implementation, access professional networking opportunities, and leave with a renewed confidence on how to collaboratively address and manage wildfire concerns – before, during, and after the fire. This year, the AZ WUI Summit will focus on creating a cohesive framework devised by leaders across the wildland urban interface; share best practices, current efforts, and specific projects in the WUI; and offer tools and techniques for collective improvements on these efforts.
Location and Venue
The hotel is situated in the heart of Tucson, providing a breathtaking view of the Tucson sunset over Saguaro National Park. It’s just a few minutes away from the downtown area via the Sun Link Streetcar, and some of the best dining and entertainment options Tucson has to offer are just steps away from the hotel.
