Presenting the 2021 P&A/CAP Virtual Annual Conference  

Week 1: May 17 - 21 | Week 2: May 24 - 28 | Week 3: June 7 - 11

Join us for the 2021 P&A/CAP Virtual Annual Conference – the premier event for anyone and everyone who supports meaningful choice, empowerment, and independence for all people with disabilities. Click here to go to our conference page for details and get a first look at the exciting agenda.

Training Sessions

We are offering multiple virtual sessions each day, totaling more than 115 educational opportunities for you. Each session is a 60 or 90-minute training that focuses on a distinct disability rights topic and is led by an expert(s) in the field. These sessions are designed specifically for P&A/CAP staff. We have something planned for everyone – attorneys, advocates, I&R specialists, managers, your whole team!

Networking

We get it. We missed being with you in person last year, too. This year, we are adding time to the schedule each week for participants to meet more informally in a virtual space. You can use this time to catch up with your colleagues from around the network, talk about an idea you had during your last session, or just tell a few jokes. We can’t wait to catch up with you!

Breakout Rooms

We’ll also be creating ongoing opportunities throughout the 3-week event for small groups to meet informally for follow-up conversations with speakers, Q&A sessions on various topics, or just informal discussions in small groups. Watch for announcements about these informal gatherings as we get closer to the event!

What's Next?

We will release more information about the annual conference in the coming weeks. Watch for updates in your inbox, on the forums, or visit the conference website. We have exciting plans for the conference app, the opening and closing plenaries, the P&A advocacy awards, and so much more!
