Two Pre-Conference Events:
The FROM Pre-Con and
The Women’s Summit
The Family Café is pleased to offer two different pre-conference training events on the day prior to The 28th Annual Family Cafe, Thursday, June 11th at the Hyatt Regency Orlando.
The FROM Pre-Con offers training and resources to community leaders and their family-, youth-, or self-advocate-run organizations to help them grow their operations and make an impact in their local area.
The Women’s Summit offers female caregivers of family members with disabilities tools and resources to help them navigate the caregiving experience in a space that is uniquely designed to foster open conversation, sharing, and connection, so they can avoid burnout, exhaustion, and challenges to their wellness.
Registering for either Pre-Con Event is easy! You can register for either pre-con when you sign up to attend The 28th Annual Family Cafe. Just visit the registration page, select your number of attendees, and then choose the “Add-on” for the pre-con you want to attend.

Donate to The Family Café
Since 1998, The Family Café has been connecting Floridians with disabilities and their families with information, training, resources, and networking opportunities. The families that came together to create The Family Café, and our signature event, The Annual Family Café, believed that by coming together, Florida families could support each other, connect each other with critical resources, and build inclusive, disability-friendly communities.
To realize our vision of a future where people with disabilities are truly valued, we rely on the investment of those that share our beliefs. If you want to help us build a future where people with disabilities can thrive in their communities, we invite you to support our work my making a donation today.
The Family Café is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, and your contribution will be fully tax deductible.
