NARSOL’s 2024 conference will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on June 20-23. Click here to learn more, or sign up to attend!
From NARSOL’s groundbreaking conference in 2009 in Boston that was kept secret, early conferences took place with many advocates using a pseudonym and attendees being required to register before knowing the exact location. By 2012, though, NARSOL was welcomed in cities across the country, and the conferences became widely publicized. NARSOL has continued to present a quality annual conference that has been attended by many known researchers, professors, attorneys and advocates over the years. Organized and run totally by dedicated NARSOL volunteers, the annual conferences feature dynamic, headlining speakers, informative workshop topics, and unique networking opportunities for members and friends.
