Believe in Learning Norfolk

What if your organization became a catalyst for lifelong discovery?

At Beyond Boundaries 2026, we are gathering the organizational leaders to bridge the gap between service delivery and continuous empowerment. This symposium provides the tools and strategies your organization needs to foster curiosity and skill-building within your client base—from Gen Z to retirees.

Break through the boundaries of 'business as usual' and discover how a culture of lifelong learning creates more resilient, engaged and empowered communities.

Registration is open through April 4. Secure your spot at www.norfolk.gov/beyondboundaries.

We're excited and ready for the first lifelong learning symposium! We're excited to engage in meaningful discussions, gain new insights and connect with others who value learning at every stage of life.

We will be kicking off at 9 a.m. with a day full of learning across the lifespan. Choose your track and enjoy sessions on a wide range of fascinating topics.
