Join us in Nashville, TN!

The Arc’s National Convention is the premier event of the year, providing the opportunity for The Arc network – chapter staff, board members, professionals in the disability community, self-advocates and family members to come together, learn from each other, and re-energize. The Arc ‘s National Convention has something for everyone and we want to make sure there are opportunities for individuals and families to participate and experience this wonderful event. 

Families are of course at the heart of the work and history of The Arc and ensuring their voices are a part of all we do is critical to our success.
