2026 Surviving to Thriving Conference
REGISTRATION COMING SOON
Who Should Attend?
This conference is appropriate for surviving family members, co-workers, and guests of the C.O.P.S. National Board who are age 18 and over. Please note there is no Daycare or Kids Program for children under the age of 18.
Why Should You Attend?
For four decades, the C.O.P.S. mission of "Rebuilding Shattered Lives" has brought a source of connection and support for survivors. By supporting our mission's goals, we are proud to offer this fun and uplifting conference for surviving family members, co-workers, and guests of the C.O.P.S. National Board who are age 18 and over. The “Surviving to Thriving” Conference invites survivors to come together, regardless of survivorship, to participate in informational life sessions, interactive experiences and fun activities. Most importantly, the bonds of peer support will be evident giving you the ability to share experiences and find comfort in a supportive community. Whether you feel like you're just surviving or thriving, this conference promises to be an uplifting and empowering event, fostering personal growth, resilience, and the unbreakable bonds of survivorship.
This conference does not replace the FREE C.O.P.S. Weekends available to survivors. This is an additional opportunity for survivors to connect with their family, blood AND blue!
Sample Schedule of Events
