STAMFORD, Conn. (September 29, 2022) – Keep America Beautiful®, the nation’s leading community improvement nonprofit organization, announces Vision for America 2022 will be held October 26 and 27 at Rockefeller Center in New York City. Registration is now open for individuals, sponsors, and affiliates to attend.

The Keep America Beautiful Vision for America event is a 30-year tradition. After two years of delivering digital experiences, Keep America Beautiful is pleased to be back in person this year for a two-day working and learning event that will highlight the power of tri-sector leadership to urgently address litter eradication to create healthy civic infrastructure, environmental integrity, and community equity.

“This year’s Vision represents the core of KAB: service and solution leadership. Aligning both pillars brings fresh and inspiring opportunities to experience and discuss innovations and partnerships for a clean and green America,” said Keep America Beautiful President and CEO, Jennifer Lawson. “Litter is a problem to solve but the dialogue is changing. Together we can uncover the future and new paths to a litter-free America.”

With the theme “Vision for a Litter-Free America,” Vision 2022 will begin on the afternoon of October 26 with an impact-focused service project with the New York Sanitation Foundation. The day will conclude with a networking and recognition reception.

On October 27, a half-day roundtable event for business, government, and nonprofit leaders to address litter abatement from multiple perspectives will be held at Studio Gather by Tishman Speyer at Rockefeller Plaza. Panels will be focused on pathways, partnerships, and business strategies that engage communities to inspire action and find solutions.
