Simplified Registration

We have made changes to the registration process that we can guarantee you will like.

To simplify the process, we have improved registration for agencies signing up groups or a few individuals. When booking seats, we do not need to immediately know staff names or their food choices. You can manage the details later. Even better, we are not collecting breakout session information!

Follow these simple steps:

Go to Conference Registration Page

Fill out your information
Choose number of attendees
Create log in name/password

If you don't know attendee names, simply put TBD to reserve a spot
Before March 23, log in to your account, select "My Conference Registration" From the drop down menu, and fill in the names of attendees and their lunch preferences

It is that easy! This way you can ensure your spots are saved now.

Friendly Lunch Reminder

For those who observe Lent, please be aware that the conference falls during this time. Please plan accordingly when selecting your meal choice. Unfortunately, we will not be able to make changes after March 23 or the day of the conference. If you have already registered and want to make changes, you can create an account to do so or contact Adam Berman, ADDP Manager of Member Services.

Breakout Sessions

The ADDP annual conference is a chance for our community to come together to celebrate, learn, and get inspired! Twelve breakout sessions will be offered on topics of all sorts, for direct support staff, program managers, clinicians, directors, senior leaders, and executive directors.

Exhibitors

With over 50 exhibitors signed up, you are sure to be amazed with their products, services, and free treats!

Raffle

There will also be a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card if you attend the conference and stay through the second breakout session. The winner's name will be written on the white board by the help desk on the third floor at 2:45 p.m. Good luck!
