INTEGRAL Autistic Adult and Allies Conference

About this event

INTEGRAL is an Autism conference like no other. It puts adults on the Autism spectrum front and center, not as a subject for others to discuss, but to come together and exchange perspectives with non-Autistic professionals and parents so that everyone can learn from each other.

INTEGRAL is about getting Autistic adults and non-Autistic allies in the same space to learn from each other and to collaborate on real-world issues.

This year’s theme, “Growing Stronger Together,” will focus on how Autistic adults and their allies can build communities and connections that facilitate our ability to create change on the issues that systemically affect Autistic people.

This is a hybrid conference, held both virtually and in person at Goodman Community Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Lunch will be provided for in-person attendees. The Zoom link for virtual attendance will be emailed 24 hours in advance.

Your registration provides an all-inclusive ticket:

1. A pre-conference virtual webinar hosted by Julie Harris on Thursday, November 5th at 5:00-6:30PM (Zoom link will be sent in advance)
