Why Attend in 2026?
Attending the APHSA National Human Services Summit provides attendees and their organizations with invaluable knowledge and insights. Attendees can network with others in the human services sector, connect with our extensive range of Strategic Industry Partners, and gain unparalleled access to learning through three days of small-group sessions and presentations. The categories of the sessions are below:
- Moving Human Services Upstream

- Strengthening the Human Services Sector
Attendees by Sector:

APHSA strives to create a unique experience for Summit attendees. The goal is to foster knowledge building on emerging national policy issues affecting state, county, and city agencies that deliver human services in our communities. At the Summit, we seek to highlight and showcase innovative practices and models from state and local jurisdictions, with a special focus on individuals with lived experience and leveraging community and human-centered design strategies and successes; process innovations and agile technology solutions; and strategies that center equity, inclusivity, and belonging in all the work of the human services sector.
