2026 Caregiver Conference
October 07, 2026  ·  CenterPlace Regional Event Center
8:30 AM - 2:30 PM (PT)

Join us this October for a meaningful and uplifting day dedicated to supporting caregivers in our community. Whether you’re caring for a family member, friend, or client, this conference is designed to provide encouragement, connection, and practical tools to support you in your caregiving journey.

We are excited to welcome motivational humorist and comedian Sharon Lacey as our keynote speaker. With both professional experience and personal insight as a caregiver for loved ones with Alzheimer’s, Sharon brings a unique blend of humor, compassion, and inspiration. Her keynote, “Turn Your Challenges into Opportunities,” will leave you laughing while offering a fresh perspective on navigating the stress and demands of caregiving.

Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in Sharon’s engaging breakout session, “Laughter: The Best Medicine!” This interactive session uses fun, low-stress activities to build communication, trust, and creative problem-solving skills—tools that can be applied directly in caregiving relationships.

In addition to the keynote and breakout session, participants can explore our Vendor Resource Fair featuring local organizations, services, and supports for caregivers. Take a moment to recharge, connect with others, and invest in your own well-being—because caring for yourself is an essential part of caring for others.
