what's our annual conference all about?

For 49 years, the AFKA has hosted the annual “It’s All About Kids” Conference and it’s become an event we truly look forward to as an opportunity for learning, connection, networking, and a dab of relaxation and fun too!

Our annual conference is jam-packed with amazing courses that enable us to learn and grow, but also an opportunity to recognize your meaningful contributions to the lives of children and youth in care at our awards banquet!

Each year our courses vary but all provide the types of coursework the foster and kinship community asks for. It is our pleasure to be able to provide these tools to our community and we look forward to having you join us!
