Conference

Conference Overview

The Conference on Ending Homelessness is an annual event that brings together over 600 people from across the state who are working to end homelessness for learning, networking, advocacy, and community building opportunities. Together, we learn from each other, exchange ideas and share advice, get inspired and re-energized, and organize to grow the movement to end homelessness in Washington and beyond.

You can access powerpoint slides from this year's conference breakout sessions on the program page of the conference website.

Next year, the Conference on Ending Homelessness (Oct 7-8) is excited to partner with the Housing Washington Conference (Oct 6-7). Stay tuned for more information on joint registration and sponsorship opportunities!

Interested in joining the 2020 Program Development Committee?

The Program Development Committee advises the Housing Alliance on the development of the conference program, including breakout sessions and speakers. No prior conference program development experience is necessary in order to participate on the committee. The Housing Alliance is committed to including a broad range of homelessness partners to ensure people from different geographic regions, experiences, and backgrounds have the opportunity to shape the conference program. The committee helps ensure the conference offers high-quality, well-balanced programming that meets the training needs of diverse homelessness stakeholders across Washington.
