ReUP: Reentry Redefined Conference

June 10—12, 2025

The ReUP: Reentry Redefined Conference is a must-attend gathering for anyone interested in reentry programs and supporting individuals transitioning back into society. Discover innovative approaches, hear inspiring stories, and connect with professionals in the field. This conference offers a unique opportunity to learn from experts, network with like-minded individuals, and gain valuable insights. This conference is open for all agencies, companies, and returning citizens who want to discover, discuss and implement innovative, effective ways conducive for successful reintegration. Our goal is to bridge the gap between agencies and returning citizens to create and highlight effective programming for the formerly incarcerated.

The 2025 theme is "You Are the Missing Piece." 

Reentry is more than a process—it’s a puzzle, and every piece matters. Join us for a FREE, two-day, in-person conference at the Enoch Pratt Free Library, where we come together to redefine reentry and build a stronger, more connected future.

The Reentry Redefined Conference is designed for agencies, organizations, businesses, and returning citizens who are committed to reshaping the journey of reintegration. Through inspiring stories, innovative strategies, and meaningful connections, we will bridge the gaps that often hinder successful reentry.

Your presence, your perspective, and your passion matter. Let’s come together to discover, discuss, and implement new approaches that transform reentry into a path of opportunity and success.

Don’t miss this chance to be part of something bigger—because YOU are the missing piece. See you at the Pratt Library!
