Join organizers from around the country to learn and build community.
We are going virtual in 2024! We love seeing everyone in person, but we also know the convention is accessible for more organizers in its virtual format. Going forward, we’ll do our best to balance the positives of both convention formats from year to year. We hope you’ll join us in 2024!
