We want you to be comfortable. Casual or business casual attire is perfect, consider dressing in layers as convention centers can have varying temperatures in different rooms. Be sure to bring your walking shoes. The workshop rooms will be on two levels of the Omni Shoreham. Fall weather in Washington D.C. is mild, High 50s/Low 30s, during the day and a little chilly at night. Be sure to check the forecast before you arrive!

You may indicate on your registration form if you are vegetarian or require a gluten-free diet. We’ll work with the venue to address any and all food allergies, but we are limited to what they can provide. Our lunch selections have always included vegetarian, gluten and dairy free options and we’ll strive to make sure this year’s menu will, too. We appreciate your patience with this. Be sure to notify us of more severe allergies.

With the exception of an occasional private class, there is no pre-registration for workshops. All seats are a first-come first-serve basis. Once a class has reached its capacity, facilitators will close the doors and direct attendees elsewhere.

Due to the sensitive, and sometimes graphic, nature of content provided during our workshops and presentations, we require that all attendees are 18+.

You, your new friends, and Shared Hope staff will have the chance to connect over beverages and light local faire. Access is complimentary for General Admission ticket holder, but attendance is optional. Any Exhibitor, Vendor, family member or friend of our attendees is welcome to join the fun, but they must purchase a Happy Hour ticket with the online registration form.

If there are any concerns, frustrations, or grievances you experience leading up to or during our event, we want to hear about it. You can always include that in your conference evaluation, which is read by our staff each year. If there’s something you’d like to address directly with our staff, contact the conference organizer at brittany@sharedhope.org. Include your full name, agency, and whether you are a recipient of contact or continuing education credit hours. You may also reach us in other ways: visit our website for more information, contact Shared Hope International headquarters by calling 360-693-8100, or send us a note via snail mail: P.O.

In the event that you find yourself experiencing COVID-19 symptoms and you would like to transfer your in-person registration to a Virtual Conference registration, we will refund you the difference and waive the $20 administrative fee.

All other in-person registrations transferred to a Virtual Conference registration will be refunded the difference of their registrations less the $20 administrative fee.

One registration for the Virtual Conference provides admission to: virtual access to live plenary sessions and up to 7 pre-selected workshops (workshops to be published at a later date, with CEU credits pending approval). Webinar recordings will be available to virtual attendees post conference for up to one month. Networking opportunities with tabletops and in-person attendees will also be available.

Virtual registrations are one per person. Registrations that are “shared” will not be acknowledged as such with any general certificates of attendance or continuing education credits.

Shared Hope is working alongside the host hotel, Omni Shoreham, and the District of Columbia to ensure the JuST Conference is a healthy and safe event this November 17 – 19. With the hotel’s help, we will ensure sanitation procedures and precautionary measures are in place.

Shared Hope will not be administering COVID-19 temperature checks, testing or mask mandates, unless otherwise specified by the Government of the District of Columbia for the duration of the 2021 JuST Conference taking place November 17 – 19 at the Omni Shoreham in Washington, DC.
