WHO USUALLY ATTENDS THIS CONFERENCE?
FFCA is delighted to welcome distinguished researchers, elected policy-makers, CEOs of for-profit ventures, as well as representatives from the non-profit sector, interfaith organizations, and all levels of government, from local to national. Starting in 2025, all presenters will be required to attend the event in person. To ensure a productive and focused experience for all attendees, we will limit the number of workshop sessions to no more than six per day, scheduled in three concurrent blocks.
Speakers must commit to attending the conference. Around 90% of the attendees work in roles that involve supporting mothers and fathers, overseeing programs that work with children and families, and ensuring that the staff receives valuable professional development support. This support includes proven evidence-based interventions and cutting-edge techniques for continuous quality improvement. The majority of these attendees are looking for ways to improve their approaches towards fathers and make a positive impact on the lives of children, parents, families, and communities.
