The National Sex Ed Conference is the largest and longest-running gathering of sex education professionals in the United States. It brings together educators, advocates, researchers, and community leaders committed to advancing comprehensive, inclusive, and evidence-based sexuality education. In a time when sex ed is being politicized and restricted, this conference serves as a vital space for connection, empowerment, and action — where we amplify marginalized voices, share groundbreaking research, and strategize for a future where everyone has access to the information and resources they deserve!
