Impact+ Webinars

About the Impact+ Webinars

The Impact+ webinars build on the learning and the discussions initiated at our preceding Impact conferences. Webinar sessions are thoughtfully curated for professionals in the Community Disability Services sector. They aim to empower participants with vital knowledge and insights to excel in their current roles and provide valuable guidance for those aspiring to advance to leadership positions.

In addition to the fall Impact+ webinar series, ACDS also hosts standalone webinars throughout the year. These timely sessions respond to emerging issues, opportunities, and areas of interest in the sector, ensuring continued learning throughout the year.

Join us from October 27 to 31, 2025 for the next set of Impact+ webinars.
