About the Animal Rights 2022 National Conference
Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) would like to thank the hundreds of speakers and thousands of attendees over the past 40 years who have supported our Animal Rights National Conference. With the ongoing uncertainty of in-person events and word of other conferences for the animals being planned in 2022, we have decided to defer the official Animal Rights National Conference for the immediate future.
 
It’s FARM’s hope that any future conference dedicated to the animals stays aligned with the ideology of what the original conference has represented to so many. Our four-day program, dedicated to the animals, featured five concurrent tracks including: animal abuses, personal activism, group organizing, event management, and technical innovations. FARM would support any future conference with a similar approach to inspiring and educating individuals.
 

Conference History

In the summer of 1981, Farm Animal Rights Movement (FARM) helped launch the U.S. animal rights movement by bringing its leading authorities together at a conference in Allentown, PA. With very few exceptions, FARM has been stewarding our movement’s national conferences ever since. In recent years, the Animal Rights National Conference has grown into the world’s largest and longest-running animal rights event. It attracts nearly 2,000 attendees representing 90 organizations from a dozen countries, with 100 exhibitors and 170 speakers presenting in 80 sessions.

The Animal Rights National Conference is dedicated to the vision that animals have the right to live free from human exploitation. It provides a forum where the relative merits of the multiple paths, strategies, and tactics for advancing that vision may be aired in an atmosphere of mutual respect. It offers eye-opening glimpses into animal exploitation, useful activist guidance, encouraging inspiration, and unparalleled networking opportunities.
