Professionals and consumers from all over the country will particpate in four days of plenary sessions, breakouts, tours, networking, and special events.

This year’s conference headquarters is the Downtown Lexington Hilton located in the heart of Downtown Lexington overlooking Triangle Park.

Registration closes on March 28! There will be no onsite registration.

Don't miss the following special speakers.

Janet LaBreck is Commissioner of the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA). This federal agency provides leadership and fiscal resources to assist state and other agencies to provide vocational rehabilitation (VR), independent living (IL), and other services to individuals with disabilities. Ms. LaBreck was formerly the Commissioner of the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind.

Josh Bleill, Community Spokesperson for the Indianapolis Colts will be the keynote speaker for the banquet on Wednesday evening.
