Welcome to NAPIPA's 2026 Annual Convening
The NAPIPA Annual Convening is our signature gathering of Asian & Pacific Islander prosecutors, judges, law professors, and law students. Join us on Friday, September 25, 2026 at The Edgewater Hotel in Seattle, WA for a full day of learning, mentorship, and community.
This year's program brings together three signature events under one roof: the Prosecutors Conference featuring MCLE plenaries and breakout sessions on public safety, AI, gun violence prevention, and victim-centered technology; an In-Person Job Fair connecting students and attorneys with prosecuting agencies from across the country; and our 12th Annual Scholarship Banquet, celebrating the next generation of API legal leaders.
