Reserve Early. Save More. Belong Fully.
Our 2026 conference hotel block sold out, and many colleagues who tried to reserve at the last minute were unable to secure a room at the special conference rate. For HOPE 2027 – the 28th International Families and Fathers Conference, we are turning that success into a new opportunity for you.
Once the Hilton LAX Hotel provides the official FFCA room block link, simply reserve your room first. Then come back to FFCA with your hotel confirmation number showing that you are staying inside the official FFCA Hilton block, and you will receive a 5% discount off your conference registration.
Use that savings in the way that serves you best. Apply it toward a specialty add-on class, upgrade from Basic Access to The Professional, or move from The Professional to The Ultimate. However you choose to use it, know this: we want to help you make the most of your HOPE 2027 experience.
This is your invitation to plan early, save intentionally, and join a community where you belong.
HOPE 2027 is more than a conference. It is a place of connection, growth, inspiration, and return. Take advantage of this opportunity and come be part of what we are building together.
A Conference Experience Built to Give You More Ways to Participate, Learn, and Return Stronger
HOPE 2027 is intentionally designed so that attendees do not simply move from session to session. The conference is structured to create a fuller experience of learning, wellness, connection, visibility, and practical return — with more options for individuals, teams, and partners to choose the pathway that best fits their schedule, budget, and goals.
From Sunday networking and community-building to Monday deep-dive learning and credential opportunities, from daily HOPE Talks and featured workshops to Oasis Wellness, authors, evening gatherings, and closing experiences beyond the ballroom, HOPE 2027 is being shaped as a conference that meets people where they are and gives them more than one way to benefit.

Flexible Ways to Join
HOPE 2027 includes full conference registration pathways, one-day and two-day options, and access points that make it easier for individuals, small teams, and organizations to participate in a way that feels practical and worthwhile.
Expanded Learning Access
Hybrid registration will be available for all HOPE Talk Sessions and featured daily workshops, creating meaningful access for those who cannot travel while still preserving the power of the live conference. All presenters will participate in person only.
Throughout the week, attendees will also experience the Oasis Wellness environment in Newport A, including restoration-centered programming, massage opportunities, mental health wellness support, mindfulness, and intentional spaces to pause, refocus, and return stronger to both work and life. HOPE 2027 is being designed not only for professional development, but for the people doing the work.
When you look at the full rhythm of the conference — HOPE Talks, deep learning, workshops,
lunch general sessions, authors, wellness, café gatherings, networking, evening experiences,
and flexible participation pathways — HOPE 2027 offers far more than a traditional registration.
Attendees do not simply leave with notes. They leave with
new relationships, useful strategies, renewed energy, and a stronger sense of where they belong
in the work ahead.
Our Registration Commitment Policy
The Fathers & Families Coalition of America follows a No Cancellation, No Refund, and No Transfer Policy. This long-standing policy has been in place for more than 16 years and reflects practices commonly used by major national and global conferences, including nonprofit and leadership events.
Each registration activates planning commitments that begin well before the conference starts, including space allocation, staffing, materials, food planning, technology, and venue-related requirements. For that reason, all registration fees are considered final once submitted.
This policy helps FFCA remain responsible in its planning while continuing to offer a high-quality conference experience designed to serve professionals, parents, leaders, and partners with care, consistency, and strong overall value.
Unpaid registrations at the time of the event will automatically default to the At-the-Door rate ($650). FFCA also reserves the right to limit access to sessions, materials, or future events for attendees with unresolved balances.
Purchase Orders will be accepted only from entities that fully satisfied their prior conference payment obligations. We thank you for understanding and for supporting a conference model that works to balance thoughtful stewardship, broad access, and a strong participant experience.
