REGISTRATION  PROCESS

Fathers & Families Coalition of America allows payment by check or credit card only using our online enrollment system powered by Facility. The net terms for payment by check are seven business days. FFCA will accept Government Purchase Orders (PO) with a 14-day net term date for enrollment payment by government checks. Our organization will follow up with an agency invoice if a review or PO is selected. Please get in touch with us if you need a W-9 (see below).

Carryovers

Paid passes for virtual and onsite attendees are non-refundable and cannot be carried over to a different conference or year other than those specified under your purchase.

Any post-conference charges will be at the rate of "at the door." We have a zero policy to cancel, refund, or transfer registrations. We have had this policy for more than a decade. FFCA policies' for the "No refunds, carryovers, or transfers are allowed" are necessary, as we are a 501 C3 nonprofit, and each registrant submittal requires payment for FFCA Conference attendance. 

For any late payment, the at-the-door terms will apply if a payment is processed after the conference. We reserve the right to reject applications to attend any future FFCA Conference, Institute, Training, or Specialty Program, especially for a history of non-payment.

Other Times Book Here 

In over twenty years, we expect at the 24th Annual Families and Fathers International Conference that you will have a great experience. We had over 90 conference workshop proposals from the United Kingdom, South America, Asia, Australia, and the first-time Native Hawaiian Model, along with faculty throughout the United States. We are excited about the tremendous plans we will use for your/our 24th Annual Families and Fathers Conference. 

Why should you join us in person? 

You will have no limits to any workshops starting on Monday, April 24th, with three planned specialty training models and credential programs all simultaneously translated for attendees (parents, practitioners, or executives). We offer four (4) evening experiences, with in-person attendance expanding your overall enjoyment (Sunset Beach Bus Tour, Opening Night Paint and Poetry with Meet the Authors, return of the Red Tie/Red Dress Gala and Awards Dinner, Hollywood Bus Tour, and more) that are limited by virtual only participation. The fantastic networking opportunities to meet others and have a different form of fun and learning.  

Do you want to join us virtually?

We are excited to partner again with Whova to give everyone the best conference possible. FFCA moved to a hybrid platform in 2020. We use the industry's most exemplary engagement and create a community with almost two thousand individuals from ten nations. We will have full conference access to all attendees using the Whova Conference App as the primary source for scheduling, advanced training and networking, meet speakers, exhibitors, and attendees to receive information and resources. FFCA uses the Meet Up engagement function of this app to increase your networking in a real-time and meaningful manner. Moreover, we will keep this portal open for attendees to communicate throughout 2023.

What are the limitations of a virtual attended program?

There are limitations to joining us virtually. We will not have every session streamed in real-time. The following are the virtual accessible: Monday, April 24th, all Pre-Conference Institute Specialty Training Models/Programs. Tuesday, April 25th, the Opening General Session, three morning and six-afternoon workshops. Wednesday, April 26th, the Opening General Session, three morning and six afternoon workshops. Thursday, April 27th, the Opening General Session, two morning and four afternoon workshops.
