The 29th California Statewide Self-Advocacy Conference "Follow The Yellow Brick Road to Self-Advocacy"

Join us for The 29th California Statewide Self-Advocacy Conference, themed “Follow The Yellow Brick Road to Self-Advocacy.” This inspiring annual event brings together self-advocates, families, service providers, and community leaders from across California to celebrate empowerment, independence, and inclusion for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities.

Just like the journey down the Yellow Brick Road, this year’s conference invites participants to discover their own courage, heart, and wisdom on the path to stronger self-advocacy. Through engaging workshops, motivational speakers, and interactive sessions, attendees will gain valuable tools to make their voices heard and influence positive change in their communities.

The conference will feature:

• Keynote speakers sharing powerful stories of leadership and advocacy.
• Workshops and breakout sessions on rights, employment, housing, and accessibility.
• Networking opportunities to connect with fellow advocates and professionals.
• Celebratory events and recognition ceremonies honoring outstanding self-advocates and allies.

Whether you are beginning your self-advocacy journey or continuing to build on years of experience, this event offers encouragement, education, and connection in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

Come join us as we “follow the yellow brick road” toward a future where every voice is valued, and every person has the power to create change.
