We are excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2026 A2J Network Conference, taking place October 21–22 (with a pre-conference day on October 20) in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Hamilton County Clerk of Courts and Help Center are this year’s host committee and have been so helpful in making this event a reality.  The conference will be at the new Cincinnati Convention Center in downtown — where we’ll collaborate, learn, and coordinate across the access to justice community.

This is the first biennial conference under the A2J Network banner, building on the legacy of the Self-Represented Litigation Network’s conferences. We’re bringing together court administrators, judges, legal aid attorneys, law librarians, technologists, and other justice professionals from across the country to share what’s working, tackle what isn’t, and build the connections that move this field forward.

Here’s what to know:
