The AUCD 2025 Conference Committee is transitioning this year’s Conference to a virtual format. This decision was made with the hope to accommodate as many attendees and presenters as possible, as some universities maintain travel and expenditure restrictions.
While AUCD was looking forward to gathering in person once again, we believe holding the Conference virtually will ensure that as many researchers, practitioners, professionals, policymakers, trainees, and advocates can still come together to advance our collective mission. AUCD is committed to providing interactive opportunities for networking, collaboration, and knowledge sharing to ensure a dynamic and enriching experience for all participants.
The AUCD 2025 Conference theme, Impact Through Innovation: Shaping a New Tomorrow, emphasizes advancements in research, training, technical assistance, education, healthcare, community service, and policy innovations. It highlights the collaborative strength and resiliency of the AUCD Network in partnership with people with disabilities. Together, these efforts contribute to building a strong, healthier future that ensures all people can participate fully in their communities across the lifespan.
The call for proposals for virtual concurrent sessions and digital posters will go live on Thursday, May 1. AUCD will share more information about the schedule and presentation submission process in the coming weeks. We are looking forward to learning about your ideas, your research, and the ways your AUCD Center/Program or organization has made an impact through innovation.
We look forward to connecting virtually at the AUCD 2025 Conference to shape a stronger, healthier future for all!
