This year’s conference celebrates one powerful idea: when we work together, possibilities grow!
Join us as a Presenter!
We are now accepting presentation proposals for workshops and sessions that empower, inform, and spark new ideas. Whether you’re a parent, educator, community partner, or professional—your expertise and experience matter.
We’re Looking for Presentations That:
• Include family or youth perspectives (your voice matters!)
• Share helpful tools, tips, or ideas that others can use
• Celebrate partnerships between families, schools, providers, or community groups
• Show how coming together can improve services, access, and inclusion.
