HOPE 2027: The Future Has a New Frequency

April 11–15, 2027 | Hilton Los Angeles Airport Hotel

5711 W. Century Blvd. | Los Angeles, CA 90045

HOPE 2027 is designed for a new era of leadership, connection, and strategic access. In a time of rising costs and reduced funding, FFCA is offering a more flexible registration model that protects access, increases choice, and preserves the powerful learning community that defines our conference experience.

Select the registration option that best fits your goals, schedule, and budget. Full conference participants may also access Monday specialty learning, while shorter-stay options provide a more affordable way to join the HOPE 2027 experience.

This is your invitation to plan early, save intentionally, and join a community where you belong.

HOPE 2027 is more than a conference. It is a place of connection, growth, inspiration, and return. Take advantage of this opportunity and come be part of what we are building together.

A Conference Experience Built to Give You More Ways to Participate, Learn, and Return Stronger

HOPE 2027 is intentionally designed so that attendees do not simply move from session to session. The conference is structured to create a fuller experience of learning, wellness, connection, visibility, and practical return — with more options for individuals, teams, and partners to choose the pathway that best fits their schedule, budget, and goals.

From Sunday networking and community-building to Monday deep-dive learning and credential opportunities, from daily HOPE Talks and featured workshops to Oasis Wellness, authors, evening gatherings, and closing experiences beyond the ballroom, HOPE 2027 is being shaped as a conference that meets people where they are and gives them more than one way to benefit.

What Your Registration Opens Up

• Sunday, April 11: Early-arrival connection through community-building and networking, including the Topgolf Get-Together experience for attendees who want to begin the week with shared energy and relationship-building.
• Monday, April 12: A major opening day that includes Coming Together, the Opening HOPE Talk Series, credential trainings and intensive learning sessions, continued access to Oasis Wellness, and the Grand Opening Reception Networking Event in the Pacific Ballroom Expo Hall, open to attendees and designed for visibility, welcome, and connection.
• Tuesday through Thursday mornings: Dynamic HOPE Talk Sessions in the International Ballroom, paired with intentional breaks for sponsor, vendor, and resource engagement in the Pacific Ballroom Expo Hall.
• Tuesday and Wednesday lunch general sessions: Best Practice Share Sessions and a Meet the Authors Panel, paired with Grab-and-Go Lunch built into the conference flow to keep people connected, moving, and engaged without losing the day’s momentum.
• Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons: Three concurrent workshop blocks each day, giving participants practical educational choices without overloading the learning experience.
• Tuesday evening: Complimentary access to Men2Men Cafe and Women2Women Cafe, designed as intentional spaces for deeper conversation, healing, reflection, leadership, and connection.
• Wednesday evening: A shared Evening Dinner Experience built for community, celebration, and meaningful time together.
• Thursday midday: A featured Oasis Wellness General Session with Tai Chi, mindfulness, and Grab-and-Go Lunch, helping attendees breathe, move, reset, and remain present as the conference closes.
• Thursday evening: A memorable Hollywood Bus Tour Networking Event that extends the conference spirit beyond the ballroom and into a shared city experience.

Throughout the week, attendees will also experience the Oasis Wellness environment in Newport A, including restoration-centered programming, massage opportunities, mental health wellness support, mindfulness, and intentional spaces to pause, refocus, and return stronger to both work and life. HOPE 2027 is being designed not only for professional development, but for the people doing the work.

When you look at the full rhythm of the conference — HOPE Talks, deep learning, workshops, lunch general sessions, authors, wellness, café gatherings, networking, evening experiences, and flexible participation pathways — HOPE 2027 offers far more than a traditional registration.

Attendees do not simply leave with notes. They leave with new relationships, useful strategies, renewed energy, and a stronger sense of where they belong in the work ahead.
