National Self-Direction Conference

Our 2025 Self-Direction Conference: Virtual Series is scheduled for Wednesdays from 2-3 PM (ET) throughout March and April. Registration is FREE for all attendees!

2024 National Self-Direction Conference

Background

We've hosted an in-person conference every other year since 2009. Our virtual series is offered during the "off-years" to reach a broader audience. The 2023 Self-Direction Conference: Virtual Series featured 21 sessions and attracted over 4,400 registrants, including state employees, people who self-direct, and support brokers who typically cannot attend our traditional in-person conference.

    Sponsorships

    As a sponsor, you'll benefit from:
    • Extended Visibility: Nine weeks of continuous exposure
    • Broader Reach: Access to 5,600+ contacts (versus 500 for in-person events)
    • Larger Audience: Up to 1,000 attendees per session
    • Cost Efficiency: No travel or additional expenses for your team
    • Special Impact Opportunity: A portion of your sponsorship will fund travel scholarships for self-directing individuals to attend our 2026 in-person conference, extending your impact beyond the virtual series

    Join us in making the conference a success.

    Your support is crucial in advancing self-direction and reaching a broader audience than ever before.

    Tools & Tech to Self-Direct Showcase

    As an integral part of this virtual series, we offer the Tools & Tech to Self-Direct Showcase. These stand-alone showcase sessions  are a chance for vendors to show off, explain, and demonstrate their tools or technology with an audience of state Medicaid administrators, Financial Management Services providers, managed care organizations, people who self-direct, and other Medicaid stakeholders. There are many advantages to hosting a showcase during our virtual conference series:    
    • You pick the day and time of your showcase that works for your team, without competing against other conference sessions.
    • Your showcase will be advertised to our mailing list of over 5,600 contacts, rather than focused on the 500 registrants who attend our in-person conferences.
    • Your showcase can include up to 1,000 attendees. Premier showcases will receive the names, organizations, titles, and email addresses of all registrants.

    We encourage anyone with a product or service that supports self-direction to be a part of the showcase. We anticipate showcases to include electronic visit verification (EVV) solutions, software and hardware products, technology to improve home and community living, and tools that support independence.
