After thoughtful consideration, HopePHL™ is postponing the Rise & Dream Philly Teen Conference, originally scheduled for May 20, 2023, until 2024, to deliver a more robust program, accessible to a larger audience of teens.

With more time to plan, we hope to engage more partners, sponsors, speakers and teens. Thank you so much for your support of the Rise & Dream Philly Teen Conference and we look forward to working with and seeing you next year, for a bigger, better event!
