Early-bird registration is now open for NCBA CLUSA’s 9th Annual Cooperative IMPACT Conference, scheduled for October 8-9, 2025.
Our theme this year is “Co-ops Build a Better World.” As we celebrate the Year of Cooperatives and navigate a tumultuous political and economic landscape, the power and potential of cooperatives comes into even sharper focus. Now is the time for us to come together to advocate for and invest in our cooperative future. Join us at IMPACT 2025 to ensure more people can use co-ops to build a better world—this year, and in the years to come.
This October, we’re excited to welcome you back to Convene Hamilton Square in downtown Washington, DC. This state-of-the-art venue offers built-in technology, collaborative common areas and plenty of natural light for an uplifting environment that inspires learning and collaboration.
