Exhibitor Opportunities

Prominently display your materials and products and enjoy valuable one-on-one time with Conference attendees on Monday and Tuesday of the Conference. All exhibitors will be located in the Rock Creek Ballroom, a prominent area that allows for maximum exposure and return on your investment. Come share your innovation and promising practices with more than 1,100 disability leaders, practitioners, and self-advocates.

This year, we ask that exhibitors create an interactive experience for attendees. A game? A spinning wheel? Fun giveaways? AUCD is here to help brainstorm! Before and during the Conference, we will encourage attendees to participate, learn, and connect with each exhibitor. Attendees will be invited to participate in an Exhibitor Passport where they'll visit exhibitors, ask them engaging questions, and have a chance to win a fun prize at the end of the Conference. We aim to create meaningful connections between exhibitors and attendees and hope you will join us. Spaces are limited so submit your exhibitor application today!
