Virtual 2021

The National Urban League Annual Conference is the largest and most influential civil rights and urban advocacy event of 2021. An all-virtual event for the second consecutive year, the conference brings together the nation’s top business leaders, policy makers, thought leaders, community activists, and social justice activists to delve deep into the issues and challenges faced by African Americans and other people of color in communities across the country. Through workshops and discussions, the goal is to produce solutions and strategies that guide the work of the National League and its nationwide network of 90 affiliates, while moving our nation further toward equity. The National Urban League Virtual Conference is your opportunity to gain knowledge, network and connect with leaders across fields, and be a direct influence on the future policy and advocacy.
