2026 FICPFM Regional Convenings
Four cities. One movement.
2026 FICPFM Regional Convenings
FICPFM is bringing our national network together through four regional convenings in 2026. These gatherings are designed for directly impacted leaders, organizers, advocates, partners, and community-based organizations to connect, strategize, and build collective power across regions.
Registration is now open for all four 2026 FICPFM Regional Convenings.
Register for the city where you plan to join us
Each convening has its own registration page, ticket options, hotel information, and city-specific details. Registering for one convening does not register you for all four, so please review the city and date carefully before completing your registration.

Why We Are Gathering
Across every region, directly impacted leaders, families, organizers, and community partners are building the strategies our communities need to win lasting change. The 2026 Regional Convenings are designed to bring that work into shared space, strengthen relationships across organizations, and support the movement infrastructure needed for the years ahead.
As FICPFM marks 15 years of national movement-building, these convenings will create space to honor our history, learn from one another, and prepare for the next phase of directly impacted leadership across the country.
Travel and Hotel Information
Travel and hotel information will be updated by city. Please check each city’s registration page for the most accurate details, including hotel blocks, deadlines, local transportation guidance, and arrival information.
Hotel room blocks are limited and expected to fill quickly. If a city’s rooming link is not yet available, registered attendees will receive updates by email when additional lodging information is ready.
Accessibility and Support Needs
FICPFM is committed to creating convening spaces that are as accessible and welcoming as possible. Each registration page will include space for attendees to share accessibility needs, allergy information, mobility needs, and other support requests related to the conference space.
