Regional Conferences

TCF regional conferences offer a rewarding opportunity to share an intimate time with families that have also experienced the death of a child and are seeking ways to learn more about the common path on which we walk. Regional conferences are generally held three to four times a year around the country by local chapters, or groups of TCF chapters. The content of regional conferences will vary greatly as planners try to provide a comfortable and pleasant learning and sharing experience for all who attend. Most regional conferences have workshops of some type and quite often a special speaker and other planned events. Usually 50-200 people will attend most TCF regional conferences compared to 1200 or more for TCF’s annual national conference. Watch here (or sign up for our e-newsletter) for the latest information on future regional conferences.

Thank you to the all the volunteers from our wonderful chapters who gave of their time to put together the much appreciated and well received 2011 regional conferences in Frankfort, KY and Omaha, NE!
