Welcome to Empowering Excellence 2026!
You are the heart of this conference.
Welcome to the Empowering Excellence Conference, a celebration of the people whose leadership, compassion, skill, and commitment make a difference every single day in the lives of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Over the next two days, we invite you to learn, connect, recharge, and be inspired. Explore new ideas. Ask questions. Meet colleagues from across New Jersey. Share your experiences. Build relationships. Most importantly, take time to recognize the incredible value you bring to your organization, your team, and the people you support.
This conference was created for you — the frontline professionals, supervisors, emerging leaders, and dedicated advocates who turn purpose into action every day.
Use Sched to build your personal conference experience, explore sessions and speakers, connect with fellow attendees, and make the most of everything Empowering Excellence has to offer.
Your work matters. Your voice matters. Your growth matters.
We are thrilled to welcome you to Atlantic City and to two days dedicated to celebrating YOU.
Welcome to Empowering Excellence — where frontline professionals are recognized, inspired, connected, and empowered to lead what comes next.
