CARE National Conference General Questions
What is the CARE National Conference?
Now in its 19th year, the CARE National Conference (or CNC) brings a diverse group of individuals together in Washington, D.C., to train, build skills, and advocate for positive change for women and girls around the world. The CNC also provides a platform for global development experts and thought leaders involved in combating global poverty. This group of supporters CARE Action advocates, supporters, major donors, corporate partners, members of Congress, Congressional staff, and members of the Diplomatic Corps and armed services represent a diverse range of perspectives and personal experiences united in the common goal of ending global poverty and injustice.
When and where is the 2022 CARE National Conference?
This year’s CNC will take place June 5-7, 2022, in Washington, DC. We will convene at the George Washington University, in both the University Student Center and the Jack Morton Auditorium.
Congressional meetings will take place both on Capitol Hill, around DC and virtually.

Will there be an Advocacy Day with Hill visits?
CARE advocates who attend the conference will still meet with members of Congress on Tuesday, June 7th.

CARE is still working to determine the logistics around in-person meetings for our lobby day and will continue to update advocates on the options to advocate directly with members of Congress in Washington, D.C.
Will meals be included?
Small bites will be available at the receptions on Sunday and Monday evenings, and lunch will be served during Monday’s plenary. Coffee and fruit will be available throughout the day.
