In October 2024, we will recognize the thirtieth anniversary of Ferguson’s Oak Park Conference. PROUD will host a two-day conference to consider the ways that Ferguson has changed over the past thirty years. We will consider the initiatives generated by the original Oak Park Conference and evaluate what worked, what didn’t, and what should be done next to build and heal our community.

Tickets are available for the full conference or for individual sessions.
Tickets for the reception can be purchased separately or with conference tickets.
