The AIFS 2022 Conference will bring together key policy makers, practitioners, researchers and thought leaders, across different sectors, disciplines and jurisdictions, to explore how policies and service systems can better support families in a post-pandemic world.

The event will be more than just another conference. It will showcase and share research, be a catalyst for national conversations, and chart a course to discover what works for all kinds of families to thrive.
