For ten years, Confluence has brought Alaskans together to imagine what’s possible for our outdoors. This year, with the 10th Annual Confluence Summit in Kodiak just weeks away, we are evolving Confluence into two interconnected circles of participation.
The Charter Circle – In Person, Kodiak (Sept. 23–25)
Those who gather in Kodiak this year will be honored as the Charter Circle—the founding leaders who spark Alaska’s 10-Year Regenerative Outdoors Vision.
By registering for the Charter Circle, you will:
Attend the 10th Annual Confluence Summit in Kodiak.
Be recognized as a founding leader of Confluence 2025.
Help identify the themes that ripple statewide into the online series.
Automatically be enrolled in the Weaving Circle to continue the work.
Be acknowledged in the final Vision Report.
First Circle Registration: $249
The Weaving Circle – Online, Statewide
Not everyone can travel to Kodiak, but you can still help weave the vision by joining the Weaving Circle Online Series.
Weaving Circle participants will:
Access select lightning talks and recordings from Kodiak.
Join 8 online sessions (Oct. 2025 – June 2026) covering stewardship, health, economy, culture, infrastructure, active transportation, funding, and climate.
Be invited in the final Synthesis & Weaving Session.
Be acknowledged in the final Vision Report as contributors to Alaska’s 10-year plan.
Weaving Circle Registration:
$249 before Sept. 23
$349 after Sept. 23
Why Two Circles?
This year’s Confluence will be smaller in person but deeper in meaning. The Charter Circle in Kodiak will go deep into dialogue and spark the process. The Weaving Circle will expand the conversation statewide, ensuring more voices can be part of shaping a regenerative outdoor future for Alaska.
Together, these two circles ensure that Confluence 2025 is not just an event, but the beginning of a process that will carry forward for years to come.
