In 2024, this international conference hosted almost 500 individuals. In 2025 we plan on increasing the overall quality of this event through dynamic members of the core leadership team. You can be part of this team that is building bridges of success and support locally to global purpose. The conference will showcase seven general sessions open to all attendees, presenters, exhibitors, and guests. These sessions will feature a fireside panel discussion followed by a keynote speaker.
In addition, the conference will also host over fifty workshops presented by experts in various fields, such as early childhood, social work, family studies, child support, and child welfare. The workshops will unite researchers, executive leadership, practitioners, and parents, providing unique perspectives to create effective programs and services for parents. All sessions will focus on the three "i" of Inspiration, Impact, and Influence.
