PROGRAM OVERVIEW

🎯 CONFERENCE TRACKS

The Annual CACFP Conference tracks are designed to inspire presentations and discussions that are timely, relevant, and push us to grow. 

Each workshop will be tagged by target audience (eg, child care center, sponsor of homes) and either beginner or advanced, so that you can find the workshops that are just right for you.

🌟 Learn, Connect, and Grow with the CACFP Roundtable Community

Whether this is your first CACFP Conference or your fifteenth, you're in for a rewarding experience! The Annual CACFP Conference brings together child and adult nutrition professionals, child care educators, sponsors, advocates, and state and federal agency leaders from across the country. It’s a place to recharge your purpose, sharpen your knowledge, and deepen your connections.

👋 First Time Attending? You're in Good Company

If you're new to the conference, welcome! We've designed our programming to be:

• Beginner-friendly for those getting familiar with CACFP

• Hands-on and practical—with tools you can immediately bring home

• Collaborative and inclusive—you’ll find community here, not just content

Our sessions cover operations, nutrition, community engagement, program improvement, and personal wellness. No matter your role, you’ll walk away with ideas and inspiration.

🌎 Why It All Matters

CACFP is about so much more than meals served—it's about building healthy communities through nutrition, support, and inclusion. The Annual CACFP Conference reflects that mission in every session, story, and shared moment. You belong here.
