About this Event
We’re thrilled to announce that the 2025 CP State Annual Conference is set for October 8-9, 2025, at The Saratoga Hilton! Mark your calendars and get ready to join us as we come together to learn, connect, and power meaningful change.
This year’s theme, “Powering Progress,” highlights our commitment to advancing opportunities and enhancing the lives of people with disabilities. The conference will offer valuable insights, hands-on learning, and access to the latest innovations that are shaping the I/DD field. Whether you’re an administrator, board member, staff member, volunteer, family caregiver, or an individual receiving supports, this is an event you won’t want to miss!
Beyond learning and networking, the CP State Annual Conference is our chance to celebrate YOU—our dedicated Affiliates and staff—through the CP State Annual Awards and Staff Recognition Awards ceremonies. These special events honor the incredible work you do every day to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
