The Women’s Convention will convene thousands of women and allies to engage on issues of civic engagement, accelerated by pop culture.
About this Event

We need to consolidate women and allies around shared values, experience, and culture to heal the wounds from the pandemic, the economic depression, and a history of racism to build a nation that works for all of us.

The 2022 Women’s Convention will not just be about building a community, it will be about building a community with a purpose.

Whether you are brand new to social change work or a veteran activist, this space is built for you.

You will gain tools, and glimpse the feminist future we want to live in.

FQAs

What is the Women's Convention?

The Women’s Convention is a weekend of workshops, strategy sessions, inspiring forums, creative expression, and intersectional movement building. It will be a place where cause, community, and creativity intersect. We will provide a space where people can meet, share common interests, and engage on issues of civic engagement, accelerated by pop culture. We will engage activists by melding traditional organizing programming with non-traditional programming, including salons, art spaces, screenings, social programming, and women’s workforce development.

This convention will leverage the power of culture shift through skilling up and storytelling to create an empowered space of feminist momentum. This event will mobilize and unite movements for gender justice, racial justice, LGBTQ rights, and environmental justice and bring thousands of participants to combine activism and creative expression among everyday people.

When and where is it?

The Women’s Convention will run from Friday, August 12, to Sunday, August 14, 2022. The location is the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, TX. Tune back in this summer for more information about transportation, lodging, and our feminist guide to visiting Houston.

How much does it cost?

General admission is $350 per person—an amount necessary to help us cover the expense of holding a conference. Youth, student, and seniors registration is $150 per person. If your employer is paying your registration, please register at the institutional level, $500 per person.

A limited amount of early-bird registration tickets are available for $325.

Are children permitted?

Children are permitted to attend. This would not be a feminist event without a baby (or 20) in the mix! Children ages 11 and younger can attend the Women’s Convention free of charge. Youth ages 12 and up can attend for the discounted fee of $150. Private areas for nursing parents will be provided, although parents who are pumping should bring their own coolers. Please note that all minors must be accompanied by an adult at all times unless enrolled in our Feminist Kids Summer Camp.

Children ages 5 to 12 can enroll in our Feminist Kids Summer Camp, a dedicated kids program that will mirror the convention schedule, with ticketed entry. Enrollment will open this summer and is first-come, first-serve. More information will be available this summer.

Will there be programming for youth?

Yes, there will be a Young Leaders Room with programming specific to youth activists aged 13-20. There will also be a dedicated space created on Friday night so youth can meet other young activists from all over the country. More information will be available this summer.

Are scholarships available?

The Women's Convention strives to be accessible to women and allies regardless of economic barriers. We wish we could make the event less for everyone, but the prices we are offering are necessary to cover the cost of the conference. The Women’s Convention aims to award at least 1,000 scholarships, ranging from waived admission to full travel and accommodations. Apply for scholarships here. Donate to our scholarship fund here.

Who will be there?

The Women’s Convention will bring together thousands of everyday women activists, movement leaders, rising political stars that reflect our nation’s changing demographics, and thousands of new grassroots leaders who’ve organized in their communities and taken to the streets since January 2017. We hope to make this one of the largest convenings of its kind, and a unique opportunity for every day women and our allies—from all backgrounds, and experiences—to learn together, share expertise and unite around collective goals and strategies.

What is the program? What can attendees expect?

We are developing a program of workshops, strategy sessions, inspiring forums and intersectional movement building based on the input, ideas and effort of organizers from our grassroots movements. Attendees—regardless of prior experience—can expect to be inspired, challenged, connected, and educated. The goal of the Women’s Convention is for participants to leave inspired and motivated, with new connections, skills, and strategies for working towards a collective feminist future. More information will be available this summer.

Will there be a live-stream?

Yes. Selected events will be live-streamed. More information will be available this summer.

Are people of all faiths welcome?

The Women’s Convention is open to people of all or no religious faiths. We will have space to accommodate for observance and prayer.

Will the convention be accessible for disabled participants?
