Convening 2026 (OPEN TO ALL)

September 11 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

Join us for the Washington Women’s Foundation (WaWF) Convening 2026, our annual gathering of speakers, writers, community leaders, and nonprofit partners focused on the issues facing women in Washington.

Convening is a chance to learn, connect, and take action together. We bring people together to share ideas, listen to different perspectives, and work toward real change. Our work is guided by WaWF values of community, courage, curiosity, and care, with a strong focus on racial and gender equity. Everyone has a place here, and everyone’s voice matters.

This year’s Convening will focus on three urgent and interconnected issues:

  • Women and Healthcare
