Welcome to the OFCFCA Annual Conference 2024! Join us for a fun-filled and informative event at the Deer Creek Lodge & Conference Center. Connect with fellow professionals, attend engaging sessions, and hear from state leaders. This in-person conference is your chance to learn, grow, and be inspired. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to expand your knowledge and make valuable connections.

 

This year's conference is themed Wayfinders: We Know the Way. Wayfinding is the process of orienting and traveling from place to place. Humans, as well as animals, are capable of wayfinding. For example, pets can return home after escaping their yard, birds migrate long distances, and aquatic animals find their way to a particular beach, bay, or stream during mating season. We use the term wayfinding to include all processes that allow humans and animals to orient themselves, including traveling over unknown or unmarked trails and paths (manoa.hawaii.edu).

FCFC’s are uniquely positioned to traverse unknown territories of service delivery and collaboration for over 20 years, while centering the work around our individual community needs. Come explore with us where we came from and how we find our way to the future!

Two Day Tickets- $150.00, 1 Day Tickets- $110.00, Family Representatives- Up to 2 Free per County. Register by September 30th.
