Labor Notes Conference Input & Feedback Survey

To build a successful Labor Notes conference, a lot of hard work and dedication goes into it.

The most important step, however, begins now. In keeping with the Labor Notes tradition of building a conference around the input, concerns, and dreams of former conference attendees (or first time attendees!), we invite you to be part of this exciting process as we create a conference that'll put us closer to a labor movement that works for all of its members.

If you'd prefer to do this survey by hand, email

for the survey.
