2020 NASW-NJ ANNUAL CONFERENCE

New Jersey hosts the largest annual convening of professional social workers (and other helping professionals) on the East Coast.

Over 1,500 participants, presenters and exhibitors represent the diversity of the profession--with clinicians, researchers, nonprofit leaders, advocates, addictions experts, family & child therapists, educators, healthcare workers and futurists represented.

They show that there is no space or place that social workers are not leading.

INCLUSION

Everyone has a story to tell. And often those stories involve personal connections with a social worker at some stage of their journey.

Internationally acclaimed artists, poets, filmmakers, songwriters and performers are invited to share their talent, stories and connection to social work at our event.

The 2020 Conference will feature an improvisational theater performance that integrates humor and healing.

INSPIRATION

Colleagues, friends, classmates and mentors.

Conference is about more than learning and inspiration, its about connection with the community.

The social work profession is demanding and respite is found in this three day event. From membership activities to luncheons and spa events, attendees have an opportunity to unwind and recharge so when they return to their practice, they do so refreshed and prepared to tackle the challenges ahead.

COMMUNITY

The NASW-NJ Annual Conference is curated to showcase diverse thought, practice areas, and exhibitors and to engage speakers and participants from all backgrounds.

Our event also encourages participation by Minority Owned and Women Owned Businesses (MOBs). In 2019, we welcomed our first MOB sponsor, Q&A Technology, the largest Minority Owned technology business in New York City.

Contact us to learn more about opportunities for MOBs.
