Sunshine Fest 2027
planning in the works!
The third-annual Sunshine Fest is tentatively scheduled for Sept. 26-29, 2027, in the Washington, D.C., metro area, timed with International Right to Know Day (Sept. 28). We are trying a fall conference next year to accommodate attendees in the states who are busy with legislative sessions in March. Details should be posted by early November 2026. If you want to submit your suggestions for programming, let us know in our feedback form, by Nov. 1, 2026.
