7th National Conference on Dialogue & Deliberation

Our conferences only come around every two years, and you won’t want to miss this one! Our biennial national conferences are major learning and networking events for our field. Building on a 14-year legacy of popular, well-loved events, NCDD 2016 will be our 7th national conference.

Why do people make a point of attending NCDD conferences?

Spending three days with 400 of the most amazing people in our field as we explore how we can shape the future of this important movement… there’s really nothing like it. We use many creative ways to highlight the best of what’s happening in public engagement, community problem-solving, and arts-based dialogue.

The call for workshop proposals will be launched in early June, and it’s a great time to start thinking about what you’d like to present about and who you’d like to present with.

Check out this great stuff from the last NCDD national conference to get a better sense of what’s in store for you this October (though we always try new things and feature new innovations!)…
