National Caregivers Conference for Family Caregivers Set for Princeton, NJ This Fall

National Caregivers Conference for Family Caregivers Set for Princeton, NJ This Fall 

Princeton, NJ – This November, the Family Resource Network (FRN) will host the biennial National Caregivers Conference, addressing the needs of the 63 million family caregivers in the United States.  With approximately 1 in 4 adults serving as family caregivers, the event aims to connect those in caregiving roles with essential resources, support and community.

“Caregivers are often the invisible backbone of our healthcare, education, and social support systems, and yet they are frequently overwhelmed, under‑resourced, and unsure where to turn” says Family Resource Network CEO Liza Gundell.

Under the theme, Connected in Caregiving,” this two-day conference will take place November 1-2, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency in Princeton, New Jersey, bringing together family caregivers, healthcare professionals, disability advocates and aging service leaders from across the country. The event will kick off with a pre-conference reception on November 1, featuring a fireside chat and book reading by Lola Dada-Olley, author of Unapologetically Whole. 

The conference will include a keynote address by Amanda Clark-Wahl, founder of Cocktails and Caregivers, and a devoted caregiver during her late husband’s battle with cancer. Attendees can explore breakout sessions across four core tracks: Connected to Brain Health, Connected to Care Pathways, Connected to Wellbeing, and Connected to Policy & Planning. Each participant will receive a complimentary copy of Lola’s book as well as curated resources throughout the event.

In a commitment to accessibility, the Family Resource Network has significantly reduced ticket prices and introduced an on-demand option for those unable to attend in person. FRN is also offering scholarships for family caregivers to offset the cost of attending the conference. Additionally, sponsorship opportunities are available for organizations focused on healthcare, disability services, aging services, and caregiver support, offering businesses valuable visibility and the chance to demonstrate their commitment to supporting caregivers in new Jersey and beyond.  
 
Join Family Resource Network at the National Caregivers Conference in November and be part of that connection.
