Location
J Street’s 2026 National Convention will take place at the Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill, located at 400 New Jersey Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001. The Convention will begin on Saturday, February 28 2026 and end after lobbying appointments on Tuesday, March 3, 2026
What to Expect
The J Street National Convention takes place approximately every 18 months and is the largest gathering of pro-Israel, pro-peace activists in the United States. It brings together J Street supporters from across the country to learn more about our issue area, hearing from leading experts and politicians, and to advocate for our priorities on Capitol Hill.
Saturday night kicks off the J Street Convention with a energizing opening program. The following two days feature a mix of plenary and breakout sessions, networking and social opportunities, and film and art showcases. The Convention will feature many high profile speakers from the worlds of foreign policy, politics, and peacebuilding and host dozens of partner organizations.
Join us on Monday Night for our Feast & Fest Gala Reception: J Street’s Purim Celebration (separately ticketed), for a night of joy, justice, community, and celebration! Enjoy a festive buffet complete with Hamantaschen for dessert followed by an optional Megillah reading, and an unforgettable J Street-style Purim shpiel—where policy meets parody—alongside our community and special guests, including J Street’s congressional champions.
On Tuesday, March 3, Convention participants will head to Capitol Hill to meet with their representatives to advocate for our priorities (more information below).
