Information - 2026 Global Gathering for the Future of Child Welfare

Registration is designed to let you choose the experience that fits your goals: Skill Building Institutes on Day 1, the Global Gathering on Days 2 and 3, or a bundled option that brings both together. Across all three days, the event is shaped around immersive learning, future-focused dialogue, and practical ideas that help move child welfare forward.

Registration may include:

Access to Day 1 Skill Building Institutes, which are immersive 3½-hour learning experiences designed for deeper practice, skill development, and applied frameworks. Skill Building Institutes are registered separately, with CEUs included.
Access to the Global Gathering on Days 2 and 3, featuring keynotes, interactive workshops, solution-oriented strategy sessions, creative spaces, and opportunities to engage with bold ideas from around the world.
Bundle pricing for participants who want to attend both the Skill Building Institutes and the Global Gathering.
The flexibility to join live sessions across time blocks designed for a global audience, making it easier to participate in ways that fit your schedule and time zone.
Entry into a virtual event platform where participants can explore the agenda, access resources, connect with presenters, and engage with practitioners, supervisors, advocates, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, and emerging professionals.
Access to session recordings and supportive materials after the live event, so learning can continue beyond the three days of the Gathering.
The opportunity for eligible US-based Licensed Social Workers, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapists, and Licensed Mental Health Counselors to claim Continuing Education Units for CEU-eligible sessions.
A place to think beyond familiar frames, build relationships across borders and disciplines, and be part of a global community working to reimagine child, youth, family, and community well-being.

This year’s Gathering is about creating an intentional space where ideas deepen, connections spark collaboration, and participants leave with insight, energy, and practical pathways for what comes next.
