With over 1,600 attendees—and growing every year—this three-day conference has become the premiere national event addressing Tribal child welfare and well-being. This year they will be in Orlando, Florida March 30–April 2. Keynote speakers have ranged from federal officials to youth with lived experience in child welfare.
