Facing Race: A National Conference is the nation’s largest multiracial, intergenerational racial justice conference. This one-of-a-kind space serves as a vital intersection where community organizers, activists, and movement makers converge to build power and strategies to advance racial justice.

Held biennially, Facing Race provides attendees unprecedented access to resources, information, and collaborative opportunities geared towards advancing racial equity for all.

Over its 15-year legacy, Race Forward has consistently delivered this transformative experience. The 2024 Facing Race will be an unforgettable and cup-filling event. From Wednesday, November 20, through Friday, November 22, 2024, we are gathering over 4,000 attendees In St. Louis, Missouri, at the America’s Center Convention Complex.

While the 2022 event was in-person and online, in 2024 we will return to our original in-person experience. We recognize the unparalleled value of personal interactions and are committed to facilitating a safe and accessible in-person event. This approach not only fosters deeper connections among attendees but also allows us to immerse our audience in our host city’s vibrant culture and history.

Our choice of location is intentional. St. Louis stands as a testament to resilience, innovation, and community spirit. By gathering in St. Louis, we aim to amplify these themes by grounding our discussions in the fabric of a city that encapsulates much of what we advocate for at Facing Race.

Plan now to join us!
