National Stuttering Association

Purple and turquoise starburst with the letters NSA in the middle.

Past Conferences

NSA conferences attract several hundred people each year. We hosted less than 100 when we begin 1984 in San Francisco, and close to 1,000 in Washington, DC in 2014. The conferences are filled with laughter, friendship, support, information, excitement, encouragement, motivation, new ideas, and new perspectives. We are a family, and we treat each other as such. Imagine being in a place where most everyone stutters. Where everyone understands what you’re going through. Where you can walk up to anyone and start a conversation. This place exists each year at the NSA Annual Conference.
