Annual Conference April 14, 2027
UTAHSWA Event Types
-
UTAHSWA hosts a virtual Lunch & Learn on the second Wednesday of every month via Zoom, offering 1 CEU per session. These events feature diverse, relevant topics across all areas of social work practice and are free for members ($5 for non-members). Upcoming sessions are shared via email, social media, and this events page.
-
Our half-day conference is once a year in Murray, Utah, offering 3 CEUs through focused, in-depth training. The conference typically runs from 8 AM to 1 PM and feature expert speakers across social work and mental health fields. Space is limited for in-person attendance, so early registration is encouraged. Members also get access to previous month’s recordings.
-
UTAHSWA’s annual conference is a signature event that brings together social workers from across Utah for a full day of education, connection, and professional development. Typically hosted at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center, this event welcomes 150–200 attendees and features a variety of speakers, topics, and local vendor support.
Please note: we will not be hosting a conference in 2026 as we transition this event to a spring schedule. Our next annual conference is planned for April 14th 2027.
WHAT IS A CEU?
Understanding Continuing Education for Social Workers
A CEU (Continuing Education Unit) is a professional development credit required to maintain social work licensure. In Utah, social workers renew their licenses every two years and must complete a set number of CEUs to stay current in their field. UTAHSWA provides accessible, high-quality CEU opportunities through our Lunch & Learns, conferences, and other educational events—helping members meet requirements while continuing to grow professionally.
