If you're 40 or under—or have 10 years or less in Social Security practice—you’re part of NOSSCR’s NextGen community. And if you're looking to meet more people in the field, especially those in a similar stage of practice, this fall is full of opportunities.

We’re kicking off the Fall Conference with a NextGen meet-up on Tuesday, September 9 in San Diego. It’s a great way to make connections before the week begins, with time to learn, network, and be part of the wider community.

Then, join us for the NextGen Retreat in Charlotte, October 16–18—a smaller, more personal weekend built just for advocates newer to Social Security practice. With CLE sessions, group outings, and relaxed afternoons, it’s the perfect mix of professional growth and peer support.

Come to one—or both—and get to know the community that gets it.
