The event, hosted by the Institute for Human Development (IHD) at NAU, will take place on June 23-24, at the Wild Horse Pass Resort in Chandler.

This year’s event will feature more than 60 educational sessions, over 40 exhibitors and a dynamic exhibit hall highlighting assistive technology companies, government agencies and disability organizations. This year’s program emphasizes practical tools and forward-looking insights across a wide range of topics, including assistive technology, innovative practices across disability disciplines and vocational rehabilitation and employment for Indigenous people. Attendees will also engage with emerging areas such as generative AI, cutting-edge technologies and disability advocacy and policy through interactive breakout sessions, roundtables and poster presentations. “Our goal is to provide timely, relevant content while remaining as affordable as possible so more members of the disability community can participate,” said IHD events manager Adi Schaeffer .
