Get ready, NFBPA family — FORUM 2026 is heading to Philadelphia, and you won’t want to miss it.

Join us in one of America’s most iconic cities for our annual national conference, where public sector leaders, innovators, and changemakers come together to ignite ideas, build momentum, and shape the future of public administration.

Last year in San Francisco, we packed the house with powerhouse voices like Stacey Abrams and Daymond John, unforgettable keynotes, and electric networking moments. This year, we’re turning up the volume in Philly — and it starts with you.

Mark your calendar. Rally your team. Be part of what’s next.

FORUM 2026 is more than a conference — it’s a movement. Let’s make history together.
