The conference is scheduled for October 13–15, 2026.

The 2026 conference takes place at Hilton Orlando Lake Buena Vista in Orlando, Florida.

The organizer lists families, family leaders, peer specialists, youth peers, advocates, researchers, national leaders, and frontline professionals.

It is most useful for family members, family peer specialists, youth peers and advocates working in community-based mental health and substance use support, since the attendee mix spans families, researchers and national leaders, and the theme centres on ending isolation through community ecosystems.

Attendees at family advocacy and behavioral health conferences usually wear business casual or comfortable smart casual, with a mix of lanyards, layers and relaxed footwear for long days of workshops. Hotel meeting rooms are often cool, so a light layer is sensible at an Orlando venue in mid-October.
