The 2026 NaLa Conference will take place in Dallas from April 21 to 23 at the Omni Dallas Hotel. The event will bring together healthcare and social service professionals who support Latino communities. NaLa focuses on improving knowledge, communication, and culturally responsive care around HIV, HCV, and substance use disorder. It also creates space for providers, advocates, and community partners to connect around better health outcomes.
Valley AIDS Council presents NaLa as part of its broader work to connect people with care, information, and support. That mission shapes the conference and extends beyond the sessions themselves. Over time, NaLa has grown into an important space for learning, visibility, and community connection around issues that continue to affect Latino communities.
On Wednesday, April 22, organizers plan to march from the Omni Dallas Hotel to City Hall Plaza to raise awareness and advocate for continued resources, services, and support. Afterward, attendees are expected to visit Cedar Springs, strengthening the connection between the conference and Dallas’ historic LGBTQ+ district.
The host hotel booking deadline has passed, but conference registration remains open. The official site lists late registration through April 9. On-site registration will also be available from April 21 through April 23. Please use the link below to find more information and register.
