Arena Community,

I’m thrilled to announce that registration is open for Arena Summit, taking place April 18-21, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia! This is Arena’s one-and-only in-person convening this election cycle, and you don’t want to miss it. 

Learn more and register!

Arena Summit is not just a conference, it is a convening with space to brainstorm and collaborate outside of the everyday urgency of movement work. There will be intentional time to build community, grapple with difficult questions, and learn from seasoned leaders and rising stars.

At Arena Summit there are two paths:

• The Arena Academy Path (April 18-21) is for current and aspiring campaign staff who want to get trained, get inspired, and get hired. On this path, you’ll get Arena’s best-in-class training and access to premium career support, plus everything on the Changemaker path. Apply by February 19!
• The Changemaker Path (April 20-21) is for activists, movement leaders, and organizers who want to figure out how to maximize their impact in 2024. It’s filled with panels, discussions, workshops, and time to network. Register by April 4!

As we head into this critical election year, coming together to connect and plan is the most strategic and inspiring thing we can do.

Past Arena Summits have kick-started new organizations, turned activists into organizers, and inspired changemakers like Congresswoman Lauren Underwood and Judge Lina Hidalgo to run for office. We can’t wait to see what this Arena Summit brings! 

I hope you’ll join us in Atlanta!
