The Cascadia Cooperative Conference 2025 is a powerful gathering of cooperative leaders from the Pacific Northwest and beyond – uniting housing, agriculture, finance, worker co-ops, and more. Taking place in the heart of Seattle, this day-and-a-half conference will offer interactive workshops, panel discussions, and meaningful networking, all centered around strengthening the cooperative ecosystem and deepening relationships among members, staff, directors, and stakeholders.

With 2025 recognized as the International Year of the Co-op, this conference is especially significant in elevating cooperative values, collaboration, and collective action.
