How to Join Upcoming Events and Webinars from the National Alliance for Caregiving

Updated

The National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) at caregiving.org lists upcoming webinars and events directly on its homepage, each with a date, time, and a Register link. If you are a family caregiver, a researcher, or an advocate who wants to attend a session or catch up on past training results, the homepage is the starting point. Registration is handled through the Register link on each event listing; the site does not state a fee or a login requirement for these events, so check the registration page for any conditions before you commit.

What events are currently listed

The homepage shows three upcoming sessions at the time of this snapshot, all in Eastern Time (ET):

Event Date & Time (ET) Topic
Your Story Matters: Supporting Family Caregiver in the Cancer-to-Transplant Continuum October 5, 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM Caregiving across cancer treatment and transplant
Closing the Dementia Diagnosis Gap: What the ASAP Act Means for Family Caregivers September 29, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Dementia diagnosis policy and the ASAP Act
Advancing Caregiver Support in Cancer Care: Initial Results from the INCITE Training Program September 10, 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM Results from a caregiver training program in cancer care

Each listing has its own Register link. Note that the dates are not in calendar order on the page, so scan the full list rather than assuming the top item comes first.

How to register and attend

  1. Go to caregiving.org and find the "Upcoming" section near the top of the homepage.
  2. Read the event title and description to confirm the topic fits your situation — for example, the dementia session is aimed at caregivers navigating diagnosis, while the INCITE session reports on a training program's initial results.
  3. Click Register on the event you want. This takes you to the registration form for that session.
  4. Complete the form with your name and email. The site's newsletter signup confirms that name and email are the fields NAC collects, and that submitting a form means you agree to their terms.
  5. Watch for a confirmation email with the join link. The homepage does not publish the platform (Zoom, Teams, etc.), so the confirmation is where you will learn how to connect.

Expected result: you receive a confirmation and a link to join at the scheduled ET time. If you are outside the Eastern time zone, convert the start time before blocking your calendar.

If you miss a session or want past results

NAC publishes outcomes and follow-ups rather than only live events. The INCITE session, for instance, is framed around "initial results," which means the substance is reported in the session itself. For written follow-up, the Recent Posts section on the homepage carries news, blog, and media items — including policy responses and program updates — that often cover the same topics after an event. The "Load More" button at the bottom of that section reveals older posts.

Related resources worth knowing about

Beyond events, the homepage links to data and policy materials that caregivers and advocates use alongside the webinars:

  • Caregiving in the US Data Hub — an announcement link to national caregiving data.
  • Caregiving in the US 2025: Caring Across States & State Data Profiles — state-level profiles.
  • Policy Brief: The Older Americans Act: Supporting Family Caregivers — background on the main federal caregiver funding law.
  • Report: Trends in Innovation: Implementing and Refining Caregiving Training Services in Medicare — relevant if you are evaluating training programs like the one featured in the INCITE session.

The "Portraits of Caregiving" section profiles individual caregivers (Abena, Maggie, Myra, and Allen) caring for a spouse, a spouse and son, or a wife — useful context if you want to see how others describe their experience before joining a session.

Common snags

  • Time zone confusion. All listed times are ET. A 1:00 PM ET session is 10:00 AM Pacific.
  • Out-of-order dates. The upcoming list is not sorted chronologically, so a later date can appear above an earlier one.
  • No published platform. The homepage does not say which tool hosts the webinar; rely on your registration confirmation.
  • Registration terms. The site notes that submitting a form constitutes agreement to its terms, so read the form before submitting if that matters to you.

If your goal is simply to attend one relevant session, pick the topic that matches your care situation, register through its link, and convert the ET start time to your local zone. If your goal is to stay current, the Recent Posts feed and the data and policy links above will keep you informed between events.
