In 2018, we will select 18-speakers to appear on the main stage to give 18-23-minute presentations. Every morning we will all come together in the main ballroom and listen to proven experts, cutting edge information, talented and inspirational speakers and start every day with series of special sessions for all of us to learn, engage and come as one group.  FFCA is committed to the best experience that helps us go back to our families, communities and organizations inspired to increase the wellness of children, improve healthier parenting, men's & community development strategies and so much more.
