Thank you to all our speakers and attendees for making our sold-out 2024 Annual WCRI Issues & Research Conference a resounding success!

We hope our attendees enjoyed learning about our latest research, hearing from our well-regarded keynote speakers and panelists, and networking with our diverse audience. Save the date for next year’s conference, March 6-7, 2025, in sunny Phoenix, AZ.

For those who joined us, there's still an opportunity to access the presentation slides via our conference app and to participate in our survey. For every completed survey we receive, WCRI will donate $3 to Kids' Chance.

If you were not able to join us, below are some some insightful articles and blog posts covering the sessions. If you are a member, you can watch a recording of the presentations given by our two keynote speakers. You can also relive the moments by viewing photos from the event and/or by watching the compilation video below.
