Set in Vancouver, Canada from 30 November 2026 to 3 December 2026, OCOW 2026, the Our Children Our Way National Conference, has established itself as a key date for the sector. Whether you build, research or lead, it offers a rare chance to spend a few days entirely immersed in the subject. Running every year, it has settled into a rhythm the sector plans its year around. Some 1300 attendees are projected to attend across the run of the event. Vancouver Convention Centre sets the scene, offering modern halls and comfortable meeting spaces.
Set against the backdrop of Vancouver, OCOW 2026 benefits from everything the city has to offer — from its transport links to its after-hours appeal. Travel logistics are kind to visitors: Vancouver is easy to reach by air and easy to get around once you arrive. Lodging is easy to sort in Vancouver, with everything from conference hotels to smaller stays with local flavour.
Whether indigenous child welfare is your focus or you want the wider view, Indigenous Child Welfare, Children Care, Child Services, Family Services, Indigenous Wellbeing, Youth Engagement and Health Care are covered from several angles. The schedule leaves room to breathe, with breaks built for the conversations that matter as much as the talks. Dedicated networking spaces make it easy to meet peers and build new connections. Behind the scenes, Our Children Our Way Society manage the moving parts so attendees never have to think about them.
It is as much about the conversations in the hallways as the sessions on stage. OCOW 2026 rewards founders, practitioners and investors with ideas, contacts and momentum to carry forward.
Rooms in Vancouver get scarce as the dates approach, so securing a hotel near the venue sooner rather than later is the safer bet.
Planning the trip: see the Canada guide for airport connections, local transport and accommodation advice.
