Join UMKC-Institute for Human Development’s LifeCourse Nexus at the 10th Annual Charting the LifeCourse Showcase!

May 5-7, 2026 at the Westin Crown Center, Kansas City, Missouri.

We invite you to Kansas City to celebrate the 10th Annual Charting the LifeCourse (CtLC) Showcase! Together, we will reflect on a decade of growth and impact while continuing to learn how the CtLC framework and principles drive meaningful change in people’s lives.

This milestone Showcase will highlight how a person-centered approach supports people, families, programs, and systems to explore, plan, and problem-solve for positive change.

Throughout the sessions, people who use CtLC, family members, and professionals will share practical strategies and real-world examples of applying CtLC in everyday life and across multiple levels of change. Sessions will feature hands-on learning, direct application, and opportunities to collaborate.

The CtLC Showcase is the signature annual event hosted by the LifeCourse Nexus, a national training and technical assistance center housed at the University of Missouri–Kansas City’s Institute for Human Development.
