It is most useful for managers and frontline leaders at community disability service providers, since the organizer is a membership association for such providers and the program mixes breakout sessions, an exhibitor lunch and the Works of Heart Awards Ceremony. Vendors with no link to the disability sector, or people wanting a national research forum, would get less from a regional meeting built around member networking, with evening activities like trivia and a casino night.
Attendees at disability services and human services conferences usually wear business casual, with comfortable clothes for the evening social events such as game night.
