Our Call for Proposals is now open!
We’re hoping to hear from staff all throughout the HFA network, from Family Support Specialists to State Administrators! This is an opportunity to make connections with one another unlike any we have had before.
Your presentation ideas need to be submitted by June 1, 2020.
If you have an awesome idea, but are afraid to present in a virtual environment, then start by learning how we’re here to support you, our presenters.
Or, if you’re ready to submit:
What is Lightning Round Learning?
While our main presentations in HFA Live will be workshops, panels, or individual presentations, we also wanted to offer an additional way to participate. This is a great option for you if you have an awesome tip or trick that you’ve infused into your work, and you can sum it up in a 5-10 minute pre-recorded video.
How the process will work:
You’ll create your 5-10 minute video and submit it to the National Office.
We will review them all and select the best fifteen Lightning Round Learning videos to feature within HFA Live: Making Connections. Those who have their video selected will receive a 50% discount on their registration!
We have committed to making this conference affordable for all.
While our conference is already affordable, you can maximize your value by taking advantage of our “Register Everyone” discount. The “Register Everyone” discount is just what it sounds like. If you register everyone at your local HFA site, you will receive an extra 20% off ALL registrations for HFA Live (during the Early Bird timeframe), and 10% off after that.
But wait, there’s more! In addition to cost savings, sites who register everyone at their site will receive the following benefits:
- Double the access time
- Special resources for teams
- Special certificate and recognition
- Free substitutions and cancellations
No matter how or when you register, we are confident you will have a great experience at HFA Live.
See the agenda come alive. Full details coming July 2020.
In total, attendees will have access to:
- 15 Lightning Round Learning videos
- 48 breakout sessions
- 3 featured keynotes
- Networking and Exhibitor Time
- Mindfulness Moments

We are thrilled about what a virtual conference venue will allow us to make happen by increasing accessibility to the entire HFA network. The theme of our conference is Making Connections! It is going to be awesome!
Wait until you see the incredible platform we are using. You truly feel like you are at a conference venue with others.

Frequently Asked Questions
A virtual conference is all the things you love about a conference:
- Amazing speakers
- The opportunity to learn about innovative ideas
- The chance to network with your peers across the country
And none of the things you don’t:
- No travel exhaustion
- No hotel food
- No needing to be away from family and miss important events
Essentially – it’s just like an in-person conference – but you can connect to it right from the comfort of your home, office, or favorite coffee shop. All you need is a computer and internet connection to connect to the Virtual Conference.
We LOVE seeing HFA folks from all around the country together in one place. But unfortunately, even with our 2019 conference where 800 HFA staff were in attendance – 800 people still only represents a fraction of our network. We also know that often the barriers to attend an in-person conference are a mix of funding and travel challenges. With a virtual conference, we hope to remove those barriers and create something accessible for every HFA staff person, no matter where you are.
This conference will offer learning and networking opportunities for every level of HFA staff:
- Family Support Specialists
- Family Resource Specialists
- Supervisors
- Program Managers
- TA/QA providers
- State Leaders
- Program Administrators
- HFA Central Administration
If you’re affiliated with HFA – this is for YOU!
YES!
