Conference Overview

This year, WISCAP is hosting the 2020 Poverty Matters! Conference on September 9-10th at The Madison Concourse Hotel in Madison, Wisconsin. Over the course of the conference, participants are challenged to examine the national, regional and local systems at play and consider how these shape policy and our collective response. By drawing attention to the structural underpinnings of poverty, we believe a well-informed and intellectually honest discussion can take place. This ultimately leads to moral choices and more effective anti-poverty policies and strategies.

This conference offers an exhibit hall, 4 plenary sessions and over 30 workshops. Our theme and workshop tracks will be released in April 2020.
