The Worker Co-op Conference is the only national event where worker-owners from across the United States gather to learn and build power together.

The 2026 Worker Co-op Conference will be held Sept 25-26, 2026 in Boston, MA.

We're excited to announce that the 2026 Worker Co-op Conference will be held at Roxbury Community College in Boston, MA! Get ready to join us on September 25th through 26th for new connections, inspiration, and collective learning.

In person, you can look forward to:

  • Tours of the local worker co-op and solidarity economy ecosystem
  • Breakout sessions to dig deeper into worker co-op business development, skill-building, networking, advocacy, and more

Not able to travel?

  • This year we are encouraging communities to host satellite WCC events to provide an opportunity for people to still attend in-person gatherings and be tuned into the national conference together.

The conference cultivates a network of interconnected and interdependent worker owners, business developers, policymakers, funders, and labor organizers, all driven toward a common goal of improving the lives of workers and their families.
