2026 Outreach Conference

Event Description

Friends General Conference invites you to join Friends from across North America for the 2026 Outreach Conference, a virtual gathering for everyone who wants to help their meeting become more welcoming, visible, and spiritually vibrant.

From Friday, September 25, through Sunday, September 27, you’ll discover practical ideas, inspiring stories, and proven approaches to outreach through plenary speakers, workshops, and panel discussions. Whether your meeting is taking its first steps toward outreach or building on years of experience, you’ll leave with new tools to welcome seekers, strengthen your community, and share the Quaker faith with confidence.

Registration opens in mid-July. We hope you’ll join us!
