"The 2026 National Sex Ed Conference offered sessions to meet a variety of professional development needs. I learned new content and approaches I could use immediately and made connections to other sexuality education professionals who can enhance the work I'm already doing. This conference has always been a great investment for me and my staff, and I am excited to see what's in store for 2027!"

"NSEC is the premier gathering for emerging sex educators and seasoned trailblazers looking to reunite with long-time colleagues. I appreciate how it evolves every year with what's relevant and necessary to move this vital work forward in service of every body."

"I'm so grateful for spaces like the NSEC where we can talk honestly about how pleasure and intimacy are political--as well as tools of harm reduction, collective safety and violence prevention. I always look forward to the conversations and dialogue with attendees because I'm reminded that most of us want to invest in sex ed that is affirming to our many communities--and I always walk away with new things to consider too! Excited to join NSEC in the future!"
