What’s Motivating Agencies to Register?

Agencies aren’t joining GoEngage Connect just to attend another conference — they’re signing up because they know this event delivers real transformation, not just inspiration.

Here’s why so many programs are already on board:

1. Training That Directly Improves Daily Practice

Every session at GoEngage Connect is designed to help agencies immediately strengthen their systems.

That means practical, hands-on learning in areas like:

  • FA1 & FA2 readiness

  • New 2026 PIR changes

  • ERSEA audits and quality

  • Health & Nutrition workflows

  • Family engagement & RBC alignment

  • Safety and monitoring improvements

  • Case management and reporting

This isn’t theoretical training — it’s real-world problem solving.

2. Small Cohorts = Personalized Attention

Unlike traditional conferences, GoEngage Connect limits the size to ensure no one gets lost in the crowd.

Small group learning means:

  • Direct help from trainers

  • Conversations tailored to your agency

  • Deeper understanding of GoEngage features

  • Space to practice, ask questions, and troubleshoot

  • More meaningful connections with peers

People attend once — and then insist on coming back.

3. The Right People, All in One Place

Agencies know that GoEngage Connect gathers:

  • Directors

  • Data managers

  • Family service leaders

  • Health & nutrition teams

  • Education specialists

  • System administrators

Together, they learn how to make their GoEngage systems work better, not harder.

And the networking? Unmatched! Agencies share tips, strategies, templates, and best practices that continue long after the event ends.

4. A Chance to Step Out of the Stress and Into the Strategy

Every agency has day-to-day fires. GoEngage Connect gives teams a rare chance to:

✔ step out of the chaos

✔ think strategically

✔ collaborate

✔ plan improvements

✔ reset and refocus for the year ahead

Many attendees tell us the event becomes their annual refresh — the moment they regain clarity and re-ignite their motivation.

5. A Beautiful Destination + Purposeful Experience

Held in San Antonio, Texas, GoEngage Connect blends world-class training with a beautiful, walkable location full of culture, great food, and memorable experiences.

Participants enjoy:

  • Hands-on office hours

  • Interactive sessions

  • Meaningful conversations

  • A renewed sense of connection and purpose

This is more than a conference — it’s a community gathering.
