Theme for 2026

“The Upliftment of Social Work: Building a Culture of Respect, Empathy, Positivity and Professionalism.”

The International Social Work Conference returns to Jamaica in 2026, continuing its legacy as one of the region’s most impactful gatherings for Social Work and Social Care Professionals. For over nine years, OSF has provided a platform that bridges Caribbean and UK practitioners, fostering high-level discussions, learning exchanges, and professional development opportunities that directly shape the future of social care.

The 2026 conference promises to be our most transformative yet—bringing together global leaders, frontline professionals, educators, policymakers, and community stakeholders for a day of meaningful dialogue, strategic insights, and collaborative action.
