NEW THIS YEAR! Represent the valuable work of WADE members all year long with your new WADE swag!
Our very own WADE Board Director Kenna Fosnacht has designed our first-ever WADE T-shirt. These shirts feature original artwork by Kenna - a beautiful graphic capturing the rich diversity of our working lands in WA, and are available in crewneck T-shirt, crewneck sweatshirt, and hoodie options. Kids sizes also available, so grab an extra one for those little people in your life!
Order and pay online by April 10th!
ALL ORDERS WILL BE PICKED UP ONSITE AT WADE
(You will see other pick up instructions during your order process - ignore those! All items MUST be picked up at WADE)
Tracks focused on different areas of work are presented each year. Some tracks are specific to a single subject area, while some sessions are combined to take advantage of topics of mutual interest. See the schedule for more information.
NEW in 2026, look for identifiers in each description describing the target audience's experience level (General Audience, Entry, Intermediate, Expert) to help you understand what level of material will be covered. You can choose to go to any level! We are trying this out for the first time this year, and we value your feedback on how this feature works for you.
Interested in hosting a session or have an idea for next year? Make sure to fill out the WADE 2027 Session Request Form! We begin planning in early fall for the next year's conference so get your ideas in early!
