The annual conference provides a great opportunity to share your message, promote your brand, recruit new people, and network with other leaders in the human services field. The Annual Management Conference is uniquely positioned to bring together social work and human service leaders, international experts, researchers, and practitioners in an informative event resulting in attendees at all levels leaving with cutting-edge social service management strategies.

You will have ample opportunities to network with colleagues at the conference venue and at social gatherings offsite. The conference will feature plenary sessions, invitational presentations, and workshops. As we prepare for NSWM’s 31st Annual Management Conference, please check back occasionally to see updated information. The Network for Social Work Management’s influence has increased globally, now representing over 15,000 health and human services professionals from over 50 countries around the world.

What is your vision for the future? As leaders in the human services space, vision is crucial as it acts as a roadmap for the future. In essence, it gives you purpose and direction. As we all navigate the challenges posed by COVID-19, it is important that we still maintain hope and vision for the future. Knowing what you know now, what is your vision for the future? How will YOU maximize social impact?

Presentations on evidence-based practices are strongly encouraged. Presenters are asked to submit to one of four NSWM domains according to the domain that is most aligned with the focus of their abstract: (1) Executive Leadership; (2) Strategic Management; (3) Resource Management and (4) Community Collaboration. Domains are defined in detail below. Abstract should address diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as an essential discussion in the proposed submission. The conference provides a forum for participants to learn, network and collaborate in new and creative ways. Such generative interaction moves us toward a future of ensuring socially just practice with an even greater impact.

If you are interested in attending the conference as a sponsor or as an exhibitor, we offer a variety of sponsorship opportunities.

Sponsorship offers many benefits for human services and higher education leaders seeking to make a positive impact in the field, create new synergies for their initiatives, adapt new ideas, and grow in capability.
