Every year, VPOST travels to a different region in Virginia to bring up-to-date best practices into a power-packed day of professional enrichment. Traveling to a unique location annually allows us to strengthen local OST networks by providing opportunities for networking, community building, and professional development. With themes tailored to the needs of our field, VPOST is proud to be hosting our 17th Annual Conference in 2026 – details TBA.
Previous VPOST Conferences
The Heartbeat of OST: Relationships that Inspire, Empower, and Transform. Attended by 225 OST and summer learning professionals from across Virginia, the 16th annual VPOST conference was the largest yet!
Paving the Way: Connecting Out-of-School Time Locally and Across Virginia. In 2024, VPOST took our annual conference on the road! Rather than host one state-wide event, we hosted four mini conferences instead.
Future Ready Starts Today. This theme spoke to the need to prepare young people for a future we might not yet imagine while recognizing the importance of the here and now. View the conference booklet to learn more.
