Thriving Families CA (TFC) and the California Child Care Resource & Referral Network are excited to announce the Annual Hybrid Joint Conference! This conference will be developed by and specifically for APP and R&R programs in California and is a unique opportunity to learn about promising practices, innovations and partnerships that expand opportunities for families.
Registration will open in early June 2025.
The cap for this year will be 450 registered attendees. Each agency will receive a cap on their in-person registrations. You will be registering your own staff this year and we ask that you do not register more than the number listed for your agency, we will accept your registrations in the order received. For example, if your agency receives 8 registrations and you register 9, we will accept the first 8 as listed during the registration process.
Your agency's CEO/ED, AP Contact and R&R Contact will receive an email in early June 2025 with your agency's number of registrations. Please refer to that email for the registration link. This is based on agency size and contracts. This is total staff from your agency, including both AP and R&R.
