About this Event

The We C.A.R.E. Conference 2026 is an in-person and virtual conference for the local community.

It brings together caregivers, advocates, educators, policymakers, and resources.

November is National Family Caregivers Month, and Thursday, November 19 is Maryland Family Caregiver Day. We C.A.R.E. is more than a conference. It is a day to celebrate, recognize and honor the caregivers who give so much of themselves every day.

This year's theme is "Rooted in Strength". Like the roots of a tree, so much of caregiving happens beneath the surface. Roots are rarely seen, yet they are always at work: providing nourishment, creating stability, weathering storms and holding the foundation in place so everything above them can grow.

Caregivers do the same. Every day they coordinate appointments, advocate, comfort, plan, protect, make hard decisions, celebrate milestones, navigate systems and provide the consistency that helps their loved ones thrive.

But no tree survives on a single root.

When the roots are strengthened, the whole tree is stronger. That is what the We C.A.R.E. Conference is about: strengthening the people who provide care, and the village that surrounds them, at every age and every stage of the caregiving journey.

We have some exciting speakers and keynote lined up. Space is limited. reserve your seat today.
