Join us for the 2025 Difficult Dialogues National Resource Center Conference from Monday, June 30 through Wednesday, July 2. We are pleased to hold our biennial conference at Washington University in Saint Louis and are grateful for Wash U's generous sponsorship of our event. For more information about the Difficult Dialogues National Resource Center, visit our website here.

The DDNRC is committed to sharing knowledge, skills, stories, and practices that illustrate how dialogue can be a catalyst for envisioning new possibilities for collaboration and solidarity across differences.  We value dialogue that is open, sustained, and structured within and across identity groups to critically engage participants toward greater understanding. 

This year’s conference theme is The Weight of Words: Navigating the Evolving Role of Dialogue in Polarized Times.

Special discounted registration rates for WashU Faculty, Staff, and Students offered.
