Work Summit at Saint Martins University

Talent turnover is accelerating, technology is reshaping roles, and the gap between what workers expect and what employers are offering is widening. But what if the solutions employers need are closer than they think?

The Thurston County Chamber invites business leaders, educators, workforce partners, and students to the 2026 Future of Work Summit, a half-day event exploring how employers, educators, and community partners are responding to a workforce environment that continues to evolve.

The Future of Work Summit is the region's convening to examine how work is evolving, challenge assumptions, and surface practical solutions that help employers respond to workforce realities in real time. Attendees will also have opportunities for streamlined connection to education, workforce, and community partners through an integrated Workforce Solutions Expo.
