Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace HotelQuestions people ask
5 answeredThe conference took place October 4-6, 2026.
The conference was held at Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel in Baltimore, Maryland.
Attendees were billed as including leaders, researchers, policymakers, providers, self-advocates, and other professionals working in disability services and quality improvement.
Attendees at human services and disability-sector conferences usually wear business casual, such as slacks or a skirt with a blouse or collared shirt, with a blazer for presenters. A hotel conference setting in Baltimore in early October suggests a light layer for cool evenings and comfortable shoes.
It suits providers, policy staff, researchers and self-advocates in disability services, since the five joint hosts (AAIDD, ANCOR, CQL, HSRI and NADSP) each represent a different corner of that field, from direct support workers to research. The series dates to 1991 and has run more than 15 national conferences, which points to a practice-and-research meeting rather than a product showcase; vendors hunting for buyers, or people outside disability supports, would get less from it.
