New York State Children's Alliance Leadership Conference 2026

The 2026 conference takes place at Embassy Suites by Hilton Saratoga Springs, in Saratoga Springs, New York.

The audience includes Child Advocacy Center professionals and multidisciplinary team members.

It is most useful for Child Advocacy Center staff and multidisciplinary team members in New York, since the two-day program is organised by the state alliance and built around sessions for that specific workforce. Professionals outside child abuse response, or those wanting a large national program with many vendors, would find a narrow state-level gathering less relevant.

Child advocacy and social services professionals usually wear business casual at conferences like this, with slacks, blouses or button-down shirts and cardigans. Late October in Saratoga Springs is cool, so a layer is sensible for hotel meeting rooms.
