APHSA National Human Services Summit

Why Attend 2026?

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.
