18th Annual Self Advocacy Conference In Person & Virtual
About this event
Don't miss out!
This year's conference promises to be one of our best yet! Starting with our theme Building Friendships and a keynote presentation from Dr. Temple Grandin the conference will give you a chance to enjoy…
- Interesting workshops about all different kinds of friendships, relationships and human connections
- A variety of different resource tables to explore and learn from
- Friendly environment to socialize and meet new people
While we are extremely excited to gather in person for this year’s West Region Self Advocacy Conference we recognize that many in our community may still be hesitant or be facing circumstances that might make attending in person events difficult.
In light of this we have decided to offer a partial virtual option. For a $5 registration fee virtual attendees will be able to participate in our keynote presentation from Dr. Temple Grandin, awards ceremony and a Q&A with Central West Area DDS Representative Anthony Keane.
Please share this across your networks. Thank you for your support!
