We are offering a free in-person gathering following the conference. This will give you the opportunity to connect with conference guests you may have met during the day, and to build community with others traveling on the autism journey.
Doors will open for this at 5:30pm (a break for dinner will immediately follow the end of the main conference; dinner will not be provided). There will be entertainment and a chance to connect with fellow attendees.
Spaces for only autistic adults and spaces for guests of any background will both be available. A low-stimulation sensory room is also available for anyone who may need it.
