September 20 @ 7:30 am
RISE stands for Redefining Inclusion, Support, and Empowerment, which is exactly what we hope to do at this conference.
Who is RISE for? Any parents and caregivers of loved ones with disabilities. The Summit will emphasize a comprehensive perspective on topics relevant to families raising children or adults with disabilities, transcending specific disability categories.
Tickets are available in two tiers. The $75 Summit Only option offers access to Saturday’s sessions, meals, and the Summit After Hours networking event. The $99 All-In Package additionally includes VIP entry to Friday evening’s Couples Panel and kickoff reception.
Registration is open now at puzzle-pieces.org/store, with limited space available.
