The Arc's National Convention is an unmatched opportunity to connect and learn with advocates, professionals, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and their families. If you are interested in employment, education, advocacy, housing, criminal justice, and more - our sessions are sure to challenge, inspire, and motivate!

Our largest event, Convention features dozens of breakout sessions and general sessions that highlight innovators in the disability community.
