OCTOBER 29, 2026 | SITE VISITS (optional)

REUSE26: Community impact site visits are scheduled for Thursday, October 29. This is a unique opportunity to go behind the scenes and see how these organizations are making a positive impact in their communities through reuse.

Site visits are open to everyone—attendance at REUSE26 is not required. You’re welcome to sign up for multiple visits if your schedule allows, but we kindly ask that you stay for the full duration of each session rather than leaving early for another. The cost to attend is $15 per person, and space is limited!

Registration will open in early March!
