Impact 2024: Thank You for Participating

May 17, 2024

 

 

Our 36th ACDS Conference, held from May 15-16, was a sold-out success with 450 participants, featuring: 
  • 32 presentations 
  • 54 speakers presenting on diverse topics 
  • 8 sponsors 
  • 18 exhibitors 
  • Art gallery featuring artists from Nina Haggarty Center for the Arts 

We opened with an amazing keynote presentation by Paul Huschilt and had two full days of conference sessions on engaging topics relevant to the CDS sector. Day one ended with a night of “Glamour and Glitz” as an early kick-off to the CDS Professional Appreciation Week to celebrate our sector’s amazing workers for their incredible work every single day to support individuals. We closed the conference with an inspiring presentation by speaker, Allan Kehler, who - through his personal reflections - shared why and how we should take control of our journey towards personal fulfillment.
Thank you to our attendees, presenters, exhibitors, sponsors and door prize donors for your participation and support.
