The Fifth Annual HOPE Summit – Shaping the Future: A Framework for Every Sector – is designed to equip professionals with the tools, knowledge, and inspiration they need to drive positive change in their organizations and communities. Taking place on June 3rd and 4th, 2025, this year’s summit now offers sector-specific tracks with workshops and sessions tailored to healthcare, education, child welfare, substance misuse prevention, and the HOPE Impact.
Each track will feature expert speakers, interactive discussions, and networking opportunities with like-minded professionals who share your interests and challenges. The summit’s focus is on the HOPE framework, providing you with practical, evidence-based tools and strategies that are specifically tailored to your sector, so you can leave with actionable insights to drive real impact in your work.
No matter what sector you work in, the 2025 HOPE Summit will provide you with the tools you need to create positive change in your work with children and families.
We recommend that attendees have an understanding of the HOPE framework prior to attending the Summit. We will be offering a free Introduction to HOPE workshop for summit attendees on May 30th, 2025 at 3 p.m. ET. You also have the option of taking our HOPE online course in our Online Learning Hub.
See more information about training opportunities on our website at positiveexperience.org.
