AUCD 2025 National Network Connections - Virtual Networking Activities

2025 AUCD Virtual Network Connection Sessions

This fall, AUCD is excited to bring our National Network together through two engaging virtual events: the Spark Network Connection Sessions 

• Lightning Talks: UCEDDs, LENDs, and IDDRCs can submit one slide and a 2-minute presentation to spotlight work that sparks pride and energy. 
• Bright Spark Chats: Following the Lightning Talks, small-group discussions will provide opportunities to build connections and exchange ideas across the network.
  • Registration is only required if your center plans to present. General event attendance does not require registration. Slides must be submitted to [email protected] by October 6 if your center would like to present.
  • Presenters: AUCD is committed to making our virtual events welcoming, inclusive, and accessible for all participants. Visit our 2025 Accessibility & Inclusion Guidelines
  • Accommodations: We will be using automated captioning through Zoom for these meetings. If you require additional accommodations, please let us know by emailing [email protected] by September 30, 2025.
