The conference, organised by the charity Necpacs, will discuss how family ties can be reinforced and family needs met, during and after imprisonment of a family member.
Carole Payne, Head of Early Intervention and Partnerships at Durham County Council, who will also be speaking at the conference, said: "Children of prisoners are a particularly vulnerable group, and it is important that all agencies work together to support them properly."
