Evergreen Conference
October 6-7, 2026
Sanford Convention Center
Bemidji, MN
The Evergreen Conference is northern Minnesota’s premier training event for youth-serving professionals, held annually in Bemidji at the Sanford Convention Center. This year marks the 21st year of bringing youth-serving professionals together, who stand in the gap, open doors, and help hope to bloom in the lives of young people in our community who are navigating a complex world.
This year’s theme, Where Hope Blooms, celebrates the work of youth-serving professionals, while elevating their ability to provide hope and a way forward for young people through connection, growth, and community support. It also reflects the environments we create together where youth, families, and communities can grow and thrive.We are still taking breakout session proposals and sponsorships are also available. Registration is open!

Support Evergreen Youth & Family Services from May-August as we launch the Dignity & Hope Fundraiser. This digital fundraising event raises awareness and support for Evergreen as we continue to help young people experiencing homelessness, crisis, and instability; who are in need of food, emergency housing, mental health support, other housing resources, and supportive services. Together, we can provide safe shelter, compassionate care, and hope and a way forward for young people in our community.
