LSA-DN Winter Meeting 2027
About this Event
Join us in San Diego this winter for an energizing opportunity to come together, connect, and grow as a network. With 22 member organizations across 33 states, the LSA-DN brings together leaders who are strengthening their services, learning from one another, and finding new ways to innnovate. Our Winter Meeting will combine timely federal advocacy conversations, practical innovations and ideas from across the field, and intentional time to build relationships with peers from around the country. Come ready to share what you’re learning, discover what others are doing, and leave with new ideas, connections, and momentum for the year ahead.
A NEW SCHEDULE THIS YEAR!
We’re trying something new with our Winter Meeting schedule. We’ll kick things off Wednesday afternoon, and hold our usual full day on Thursday:
- Wednesday, February 10th, 1:30–4:30 PM PST

Our hope is that members can fly in Wednesday, spend time together that afternoon and evening, and travel home Friday after the meeting. Please plan ahead and keep these new meeting times in mind as you make your travel arrangements.
