Focused on today’s hottest topics in Disability and Assistive Technology, our 2026 conference will build on all the conference traditions our participants have come to love:
- Multiple tracks and diverse disability-related session options:
- Assistive Technology
- Innovative Practices in Disability Disciplines
- American Indian / Alaska Native Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment
- Vibrant Exhibit Hall
- Reasonable Pricing
- Door prizes, networking, and more!
But, as always, this year will feature exciting new topics, presenters, and programming too!
