Holistic Defense & Leadership Conferences

The Holistic Defense and Leadership Conference brings together several of our Defender communities to provide plenaries and workshops dedicated to improving knowledge and building skills around holistic, client-centered advocacy. Join us for incredible sessions offered by the Black Public Defender Association, the National Alliance of Sentencing Advocates and Mitigation Specialists, the Community Oriented Defense Network, and the American Council of Chief Defenders. 

This year's conference will include four main tracks: the BPDA track, the NASAMS Fundamentals of Mitigation Certificate track, the Holistic track, and a DEIB-Centered Leadership track. Attendees can choose to stay within their chosen track or float between tracks for a more holistic experience. Join us in community to strengthen our shared purpose!
