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. We work hard to intentionally create a positive learning atmosphere at our conference that's welcoming, inclusive and safe. Whether you’re an advocate, a government employee, a board member, or a service provider, we are confident you’ll find conference activities you can’t wait to be part of.
