CAREGIVER CONFERENCE
There are many types of caregivers -- some are volunteers, others are paid, and many are family members caring for children, seniors, and those unable to care for themselves. A caregiver is anyone providing care to others, from birth to end of life.
​
Join us Saturday, April 27, 2024 for a day of learning and connection around the theme of safety and belonging.
The Caregiver Conference offers diverse sessions, opportunities for networking, exhibitor booths and a silent auction. Designed with the interests of caregivers in mind, sessions cover an array of important topics.
