Dear WAMFT Members,
This year is more than just another WAMFT Annual Conference.
It's a celebration of 50 years of supporting marriage and family therapists, strengthening systemic thinking, and building a community dedicated to relational healing across Washington State.
For five decades, WAMFT has connected clinicians, educators, supervisors, and students through shared learning, mentorship, advocacy, and collaboration. This year's conference honors that legacy while looking toward the future of our profession.
Join us September 25–26, 2026, at Great Wolf Lodge as we celebrate our golden anniversary with inspiring keynote speakers, engaging workshops, meaningful networking, and opportunities to reconnect with colleagues old and new.
Whether this is your first WAMFT conference or your fifteenth, we'd love to celebrate this milestone with you.
Roots for Connection: Deepening Systemic Practice in Changing Times!
We can't wait to see you there!
A Conference the Whole Family Can Enjoy!
