Description

The HomeCareCon Annual Conference & Trade Show, presented by the Home Care Association of Florida (HCAF), is the state’s premier event for home care professionals. Taking place July 21–24, 2026, in Orlando at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace, this flagship gathering brings together leaders from across the home care continuum to connect, learn, and prepare for what’s next in care at home.

HomeCareCon features a dynamic multi-day experience, including a robust two-day trade show where attendees engage with sponsors and exhibitors showcasing innovative products, services, and solutions designed to support agency growth and operational success.
