Due to local, state, and federal directives related to Covid-19, The Arc & UCP Public Policy Conference has unfortunately been postponed. We will update when a new date has been confirmed.
Our conference is the leading event for self-advocates, family members, community service providers, direct support professionals, regional center professionals, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding and influencing public policy to build a better today and tomorrow for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Please join us to expand your knowledge of diverse, relevant topics that have immediate current and future implications for people in our community.
This year we will explore the theme:
2020 VISION: SEEING TODAY AND ENVISIONING THE POSSIBILITIES OF TOMORROW

"I found The Arc's Policy Conference to be incredibly informative, not just in showcasing the existing policies that nonprofit leaders need to be aware of, but also in looking to the future in promoting diverse, inclusive and accessible communities. I've stayed connected with many people I met at the conference and have built great relationships in furthering the work we share in." - Abby Yim, Executive Director, Integrated Community Services - San Rafael
"The conference gives me a chance to bond with others who share a similar goal, share information, and develop skills to become an effective advocate for my daughter’s rights and the rights of all people with I/DD." - Sandy Waterbury, Parent - Ventura
