WHY A JUST ECONOMY?

The Just Economy Conference is the national event for community, business, foundation, policy and government leaders who want a nation that not only promises but delivers opportunities for all Americans to build wealth and live well. National and local luminaries, visionaries and changemakers gather to network, share ideas, learn and ask hard questions to chart out a better future.

Along with keynote speakers and conversations on the main stage, the conference includes a wide range of conversational sessions and workshops.

Here are highlights from
2024, 2023 and 2022
