Welcome to HOPE 2027
Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel • 5711 W. Century Blvd., Los Angeles, California 90045
HOPE 2027 is more than a conference schedule. It is a dynamic community ecosystem connecting professional development, leadership, behavioral health, family strengthening, father engagement, wellness, publishing, authorship, organizational sustainability and meaningful relationships. Whether you come to learn, teach, connect, exhibit, publish, restore, lead or discover what comes next, HOPE 2027 is designed to help turn a few days in Los Angeles into value that continues long after the conference ends.
There Is Still a Seat at the Table.
HOPE is not reserved for one profession, one title, one generation or one place in life. There is room here for the parent and young adult, the frontline worker and assistant teacher, the adult learner finding the courage to return to the classroom, the practitioner, clinician and advocate, the manager and director, the president and CEO, the researcher and professor—and the experienced professional who may be approaching retirement but knows their purpose, wisdom and contribution are far from finished.
There is also a seat for the organization ready to exhibit, the community partner ready to collaborate, the author ready to share a book or develop an idea, and the wellness practitioner or professional massage therapist who may become part of our growing Wellness Oasis. HOPE 2027 is being built so people can enter the experience through different doors and still become part of one connected community.
Your passion has value. Your experience has value. Your purpose has value. When you walk through the door of HOPE 2027, you enter a room intentionally designed with space to learn, contribute, connect and grow. There is still a seat at the table—and one of those seats may be yours.

Super Early Bird registration is available through December 1, 2026. Choose the conference pathway that fits your goals and begin building your experience around HOPE Talks, workshops, Partner Pavilions, specialty training, HOPE FIL, wellness, exhibitors, networking and community.
Current Super Early Bird pricing ends December 1, 2026. Review the registration pathways, inclusions and available add-on experiences before selecting the option that works best for you.
A Living Program. A Sustainable Conference Ecosystem.
The HOPE 2027 program continues to grow. HOPE Talks, HOPE Workshops, seven Specialty Training experiences, five Partner Pavilions, HOPE FIL, the HOPE Expo, Wellness Oasis, Men2Men and Women2Women Cafés, authors, networking and evening experiences are being connected into one intentional conference journey.
Sustainability matters. FFCA is building a model in which training can produce credentials, CEUs, manuals and implementation tools; authors can gain visibility beyond a single book table; exhibitors can build relationships beyond a booth; partners can lead immersive learning; and attendees can return home with resources they can continue using in agencies, organizations, classrooms, teams, families and communities.

Move the Needle: Sustainability by Design
A conference can inspire people for a week. A sustainable learning system gives them something they can continue using when the week is over. That is why HOPE 2027 connects conference participation with professional resources, publishing pathways, implementation tools, certification, CEUs, assessments, relationships and year-round visibility.
Unlocking Unlimited Potential: An Evidence-Informed Reference Manual and Activity Guide for Personal Growth, Family Systems, and Professional Development is part of that strategy. It helps extend learning beyond a presentation through structured models, guided activities, reflection tools and practical applications participants can revisit and use with others.

Explore Unlocking Unlimited PotentialWhat Makes This Schedule Different?
This schedule is not built around one type of attendee or one type of session. It is a connected experience where inspiration, professional development, fatherhood, family strengthening, mental health, child development, parenting, leadership, wellness, authorship, organizational sustainability, coalition building, resource discovery and meaningful relationships all have a place.
Morning HOPE Talks bring the community together. HOPE Workshops create practical choice. Partner Pavilions go deeper. Specialty Training builds transferable capacity. HOPE FIL gives stories and ideas somewhere to grow. The HOPE Expo creates visibility and relationship. Wellness gives participants room to restore. Community cafés and evening experiences create space for conversations that can become relationships lasting long after everyone leaves Los Angeles.
There Is Still a Seat at the Table.
You do not have to fit one title to belong at HOPE 2027. Come ready to learn, contribute, connect, restore, publish, discover, collaborate and take something meaningful home. Whether your next step is attending, exhibiting, becoming part of HOPE FIL, connecting through wellness, strengthening your professional practice or simply discovering a new community, there is room for you.
HOPE 2027 Conference Schedule — At a Glance
HOPE 2027 is being built as more than a sequence of sessions. It is a five-day learning and relationship ecosystem where professionals, parents, fathers, families, authors, partners and community leaders can move between HOPE Talks, specialty training, HOPE Workshops, Partner Pavilions, HOPE FIL, wellness, networking and community conversation.
The schedule already carries depth, and it still leaves room for the program to grow with purpose. Monday now includes expanded specialty and pre-conference institute pathways. Thursday features a dedicated leadership Partner Pavilion in Pacific Ballroom A and a highlighted educator workshop series in Pacific Ballroom B, while selected workshop openings remain visible as the final program is curated. Throughout the week, there are intentional places to connect, restore, learn and build relationships.
There Is Still a Seat at the Table.
HOPE 2027 is intentionally designed with enough structure to create confidence and enough flexibility to make room for meaningful learning. The program now includes expanded Monday specialty and pre-conference institutes, five Partner Pavilion experiences, and a growing roster of confirmed HOPE Workshops. Selected open workshop spaces remain visible by design. The goal is not to fill rooms for the sake of filling rooms; it is to curate experiences that add value to the people who will be in them.

Register for HOPE 2027Why HOPE 2027 Matters Now
Across the nation, agencies, programs, schools, family-serving systems, and community organizations are being asked to do more with less. Funding pressures, staff fatigue, mental health strain, social disconnection, and increasing demands on families have changed the landscape. HOPE 2027 is being designed in response to that reality—not by shrinking the vision, but by making the conference more relevant, more restorative, more practical, and more human.
This is a conference for those who want more than information alone. It is for those seeking strategies, visibility, renewal, partnership, and a sense of shared purpose. It is being built to welcome both long-standing professionals and new voices who are ready to contribute, collaborate, and grow.
Built for This Moment
HOPE 2027 is designed to meet today’s realities with practical learning, emotionally intelligent leadership, and community-centered solutions that people can take back to their agencies, programs, families, and neighborhoods.
Designed to Attract New Participants
Through HOPE Talks, Best Practice Share Sessions, Meet the Authors opportunities, wellness-centered experiences, and stronger networking design, the conference creates more ways for new attendees to find value, belonging, and visibility.
More Than a Traditional Conference
This is not simply a sequence of workshops. It is an intentional experience that blends inspiration, models of success, wellness, community gathering, coalition-building, and practical action.
Stronger People, Stronger Systems
When professionals, parents, advocates, and leaders feel restored, informed, and connected, they return home better equipped to strengthen children, families, fathers, communities, and the systems that serve them.
The HOPE 2027 Experience
HOPE 2027 is being shaped around four major experience pillars so attendees can do more than sit in sessions. The goal is to create a conference that moves people, restores people, connects people, and equips people for the work ahead.
HOPE Talks
HOPE Talks are concise, high-impact presentations designed to inspire, challenge, and move people toward action. They bring energy to the day and create a distinct conference identity that feels modern, meaningful, and memorable.
Deep Learning & Educational Workshops
The conference remains deeply rooted in substance. Educational sessions will continue to highlight fatherhood, men’s issues, child development, maternal and family mental health, child support, child welfare, leadership, coalition work, and models of success.
Community, Authors, Vendors & Connection
HOPE 2027 creates room for relationship-building through the Pacific Ballroom Expo Hall, Best Practice Share Sessions, Meet the Authors opportunities, Coalition Café gatherings, vendor engagement, and meaningful networking throughout the week.
Oasis Wellness & Renewal
Wellness is not an afterthought. The Oasis Wellness experience in Newport A supports the whole person with restorative programming, mindfulness, massage, mental health wellness support, and intentional opportunities to pause and reset.
