JBAY is thrilled to announce that its biennial Blueprint Conference will return October 26–27, 2027, at the Westin Los Angeles Airport, with an expanded focus on economic opportunity. This dynamic two-day event combines meaningful networking with in-depth, practical, solutions-oriented workshops aimed at helping students with experience in foster care achieve economic opportunity.

The conference will feature compelling plenary sessions, breakout workshops, and opportunities to strengthen connections across regions and systems, including a reception on the evening of October 26. Workshops will be presented by experts in education, employment, and housing, as well as by individuals with lived experience, all committed to helping foster youth build stable, self-sufficient futures.

The call for workshop proposals will be released in early spring 2027.
