Be a Conference Exhibitor: July 8 – 10, 2018 at the Evidence for Success Conference
We-Ko-Pa Resort and Conference Center in Scottsdale/Fountain Hills
For the second year in a row, the Assistive Technology conference will be part of an educational mega event sponsored by AzTAP’s parent organization, the Institute for Human Development (IHD) at Northern Arizona University. Celebrating IHD’s legacy of providing access to best practices in disability disciplines, the 2018 Evidence for Success Conference will combine a number of IHD project areas integrated into one conference with separate content area tracts:
- Assistive Technology
- Evidence Based Practices in Disability Disciples
- AIVRRTAC (American Indian Vocational Rehabilitation Training and Technical Assistance Center)
All participants will have access to the Exhibit Hall and can attend breakout sessions of their choosing across content areas. Our attendance has grown every year!
