The Animal Rights National Conference is the U.S. animal rights movement’s annual national conference dedicated to the vision that animals have the right to live free from human exploitation. It is the world’s largest and longest-running animal rights gathering, hailing back to 1981.

While AR2020 was cancelled, we are looking forward to planning next year's event and still offer audio files for 2019's speakers.

The Animal Rights National Conference strives to be a safe space, inclusive and accessible to all. In an effort to minimize financial barriers, we offer registration discounts and full scholarships.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and our priority of keeping attendees safe, the in-person Animal Rights 2020 National Conference scheduled for July 16-19 in Portland, OR was canceled. Stay tuned for more information about 2021 right here.
