Each year, our annual conference serves as a cornerstone of our efforts, providing a platform for collaboration, learning, and professional development. We are happy to announce that the 2026 IAMFC conference will be held in Cleveland, Ohio. We hope to see many of you there, joining us in advancing the critical work of supporting families and couples worldwide.

Your involvement is vital to the success of our organization. IAMFC offers numerous opportunities for you to engage, collaborate, and contribute. Whether it’s joining one of our many committees or participating in our events, your expertise and passion enrich our collective efforts. Details on how to get involved can be found on our website, and I encourage you to explore these opportunities.

It is my sincere hope that IAMFC serves as your professional home—a place where you can grow, connect with peers, and contribute to meaningful advancements in our field.

Thank you for your commitment to IAMFC and to the important work we do together.
