Hi, friend, 

When you hear the word ‘convention,’ you probably think of cold, stuffy board rooms, tight and uncomfortable blazers, and awkward small talk. But, on the contrary, NLC Convention is far from typical. 

What makes our Convention different? Discussions center equity and progress. Attendees are diverse in their identities and experiences and all share a passion for their communities. And our Convention programming is designed to enliven not only our guests, but our collective movement for change too.

With your ticket, you get:

• Four incredible, jam-packed days of conversation and community,
• Unique learning environments including Mindspace and Reading Terminal Market, 
• Fun networking opportunities at our Rooftop Reception, Awards Dinner, and daily breakfast and lunch, 
• Opportunities to relax with the #NLCFamily at the hotel pool, gym, bar, and lounge,
• A progress-minded travel experience in one of America’s most historical cities, including the chance to visit popular sights and local favorites, 
• Free branded NLC items and access to our Activist Center that features partner giveaways, 
• And, an opportunity to learn with over 50 cross-sector speakers, including our amazing alumni.

NLC Convention Sessions include (but are not limited to):

• Fireside chats with New Jersey Congressman Andy Kim, The 19th Co- Founder and Editor Errin Haines, and others, 

• The Scariest Thing I've Ever Done Voluntarily: Claiming identity, visibility, and activism with NLC alumna Lelia Gowland,
• Health is Wealth Panel: Creating New Narratives for the Health of Women of Color with NLC alumni Dr. Magdala Chery and Veronica Haywood Simpkins,
• State Voting Rights Act: A New Frontier with NLC alumni
• A workshop on how to tell your story so people turn up, not tune out, and
• Many more speakers and topics to be announced!
