NASW Virginia and Metro DC Chapters 2026 Annual Conference

Invisible Threads: The Quiet Power of Social Work

2026 Digital Program

The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Virginia and Metro DC Chapters will host our Annual Conference on March 26-28, 2026 in person at the Newport News Marriott at City Center, and again live-virtual from April 23-25, 2026. On-demand conference material will also be available for 60 days following the conference.

Over the course of the 2026 Conference, social workers and other mental health professionals will have the opportunity to hear a variety of speakers on topics related to, but certainly not limited to, race and cultural competency, ethics, social just ice, trauma informed care, clinical advancements, self-care, LGBTQ+ issues, public health priorities, aging, and leadership.

Attendees at our conference, your potential clients and employees, can browse the materials you have on display and interact with your organization directly. Attendees will have access to your virtual conference booth from the start of the in-person conference until the end of the on-demand conference. That's four months of attendee engagement when you combine the in-person, live-virtual, and on-demand conference opportunities, giving your organization maximum visibility with social workers from all walks of life.

By exhibiting at the NASW Virginia and DC Metro Chapters Conference in 2026, you have the chance to reach hundreds, if not thousands, of social work professionals from various backgrounds before, during, and after the conference.

Our social workers are accomplished practitioners, educators, researchers, and policymakers, who are employed in a wide range of settings in rural, suburban, and urban communities. All opportunities are on a first come first serve basis, so don't delay, last year we sold out of nearly every sponsorship level!
