✨ That’s a wrap on GCFV 2026! ✨

What a powerful final day of connection, learning, and impact. 💙

We were inspired by an incredible keynote from Mark Wynn, “Making the Law Keep Its Promise,” followed by six final workshops packed with insight, practical tools, and meaningful conversations.

And of course, there was plenty of time to shop, connect, and celebrate with our amazing exhibitors—plus prizes to make the day even more fun! 🎉

But perhaps the most powerful moment of all: a record-breaking donation drive supporting children and teens in shelter. ❤️

Thank you to every speaker, attendee, exhibitor, sponsor, volunteer, donor, and advocate who made GCFV 2026 unforgettable. Together, we’re turning connection into action and making a difference for those who need it most.

Until next year! 💙

Day 1 is a wrap! 💜

What a powerful start to the GCFV Family Violence Conference!

Today, we brought together 600+ industry professionals committed to strengthening our communities and creating a future free from family violence. From an inspiring keynote by Victor Rivas Rivers to 18 engaging workshops, Day 1 was filled with connection, learning, recognizing leaders, and meaningful conversations.

And this is just the beginning. ✨

Thank you to every speaker, workshop facilitator, partner, and attendee who showed up ready to learn, share, and make a difference.

Day 1: DONE. Day 2: LET’S GO! 💜
