November 2, 2024 @ 9:00 am – 4:15 pm

Post Conference Hangout from 6 – 10 p.m. @ OutReach LGBTQ+ Community Center, Madison, WI

INTEGRAL is an autism conference like no other. It puts adults on the autism spectrum front and center, not as a subject for others to discuss, but to come together and exchange perspectives with non-autistic professionals and parents so that everyone can learn from each other.

This is a hybrid conference, held both virtually and in person at Madison College – Goodman South in Madison, Wisconsin. Lunch will be provided for in person attendees registering by Sunday, October 28th.

This year’s theme is Autism Across the Lifespan.
