NASW National Conferences
2026 Fall Virtual Forum: Registration Now Open!
Join us remotely on November 4th and 5th for NASW's National Fall Virtual Forum themed, "From Insight to Impact: Hard
Conversations, Honest Dialogue, Collective Action". This year's forum will focus on turning critical reflection into
responsible practice and conversation into change.
From Insight to Impact is a Fall Virtual Forum designed to move beyond surface-level dialogue and
into meaningful engagement with the realities shaping our field. This event convenes practitioners, leaders,
educators, and advocates to engage in the hard conversations that too often remain in unspoken conversations about
power, bias, harm, accountability, and the sustainability of our work.
Through structured dialogue, reflective practice, and solution-oriented exchange, participants will be challenged to
examine not only the systems they work within, but also their individual and collective roles in shaping them. This
is a space where honesty is expected, complexity is acknowledged, and discomfort is recognized as part of
professional growth.
