NAESP National School Leaders Advocacy Conference

The conference is held annually in Washington, D.C., and is an invitation-only event for NAESP leaders.

We’re excited to be hosting the NAESP National School Leaders Advocacy Conference, Feb. 8 – 11, 2026, in Washington D.C. The event gathers principal leaders from across the country in the nation’s capital to build attendees’ leadership skills, knowledge around how federal policies and programs impact principals and schools, and how to advocate on these issues. Registration is now open, though this event is invitation only.
