Call for Breakout Session Speakers Now Open

Caregiving can feel isolating. The National Caregivers Conference (NCC) is built to change that. 

This year’s theme, Connected in Caregiving, focuses on strengthening the connections that support caregivers every day. Between people, across systems, and within communities. 

NCC is now accepting breakout session proposals, and we invite you to add your voice to this national conversation. If you have insight, experience, or approaches that help caregivers feel more supported, more informed, or less alone, this is a space to share it. 

Taking place in November, NCC brings together family caregivers, professionals, advocates, researchers, and innovators committed to improving how caregiving is understood and supported. 

What We’re Looking For

We are seeking thoughtful, solution‑driven breakout sessions that educate, inspire, and equip caregivers and those who support them. Building on the success of our 2024 breakout sessions, including:
  • Self‑Care for the Caregiver
  • Conversations on Military and Civilian Caregiving
  • Self‑Help Support Groups for Caregivers
  • and many more
We are excited to expand opportunities for learning, connection, and shared understanding in 2026.

Breakout Session Tracks

Proposals should align with one or more of our conference tracks:

Connected to Brain Health
Cognitive health, dementia care, mental wellness, caregiving across neurological conditions, and caregiver resilience

Connected to Care Pathways
Navigating healthcare systems, care coordination, transitions of care, and innovative service models

Connected to Wellbeing
Self-care, peer support, burnout prevention, emotional health, and whole-person wellness for caregivers

Connected to Policy & Planning
Advocacy, public policy, workforce development, aging services, and planning for the future of caregiving

Sessions may be practical, instructional, research-informed, or deeply personal, what matters most is real-world relevance and actionable takeaways.

  • Share your expertise with a diverse, engaged audience
