Date & Time
About This Event
The Kids Are Worth It!® Conference is Kentucky’s premier multi-disciplinary child abuse prevention conference. In 2026, we celebrate 30 years of providing this ground-breaking training opportunity marking three decades of advancing child abuse prevention and strengthening families across the Commonwealth. The conference equips professionals (i.e. medical providers, mental health experts, law enforcement officers, child advocates, foster parents, and more) who interact and work with Kentucky’s children, with increased knowledge and awareness of child abuse prevention, the latest research and best practices in the field, and networking opportunities to develop and improve upon existing collaborative efforts. The lasting impact of this work, and your support, is that families and children receive cutting-edge services.
Exhibitors will have the opportunity to set-up from 3:30 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 13th or as early as 7:00 a.m. Monday, September 14th. Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky cannot guarantee the security of your merchandise. The exhibit area will open at 7:00 a.m. Monday and Tuesday, September 14th and 15th. We kindly request all exhibitors bring a door prize to not only share with participants, but to also promote your brand.

A Note Regarding Meals
We do our best to offer well-balanced meals at an affordable rate when hosting this event. However, conference meals are very costly. As a non-profit, we must be mindful of these expenses. As such, please note meals are only included for one person unless additional meals are ordered at the time of registration and paid for by the exhibitor. We hope you understand and are respectful of our attempt to curtail expenses so we can keep conference fees at a minimum.
Exhibitor Placement
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee exhibitor placement due to premier placement being reserved for sponsors and platinum exhibitors. You may make requests, but please understand we may not be able to accommodate your request.
Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky (PCAK) carefully reviews all exhibitor applications and reserves the right to limit participation based on specific criteria. We encourage you to secure your spot early. Your spot is not secured until PCAK receives your exhibitor commitment form and payment. The deadline to secure your spot or make any additions, including adding additional meals, is July 22, 2026.
