Business Development Opportunities - Collab Conference 2018

Conference sponsorships and other business opportunities help support the annual Collaborations Conference co-sponsored by vaACCSES, VaAPSE, and the Virginia Rehabilitation Association (VRA). Multiple options to promote your business and organization are available including conference Sponsorships, exhibiting, conference bag inserts and program booklet marketing opportunities.    _WE'RE CELEBRATING OUR 21ST YEAR!  _ The annual Collaborations Conference brings together rehabilitation professionals, educators and advocates for the purpose of enhancing services that lead to successful employment and quality community-based services for individuals with disabilities.    The COLLABORATIONS CONFERENCE IS A JOINT CONFERENCE HOSTED BY A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN the Virginia Rehabilitation Association (VRA), the Virginia Association of Community Rehabilitation Programs (vaACCSES) and the Virginia Association of Persons Supporting Employment First (VA-APSE) - the only one of its kind in the country. This year's theme "_IT STARTS WITH US_" challenges all of us to stretch our imaginations and think "outside of the box" to implement evolving public policy changes so that we can unlock each others potential as well as the potential of individuals with disabilities that we serve.     This year's agenda is packed with exciting learning sessions and excellent networking opportunities. We hope these opportunities and tools will inspire participants to transform Virginia into a leader in the provision of quality community-based services.  Attendees include state and local public and private providers of community-based services, private not-for-profit providers, school transition professionals, local CSB providers, AbilityOne providers, mental health service providers, OneStop workplace professionals, and individuals with disabilities.   Join us in Norfolk for an energizing and inspiring conference filled with best practice information, as well as opportunities to renew and expand relationships with your public and private sector peers.    FAQS   WHERE CAN I CONTACT THE ORGANIZER WITH ANY QUESTIONS?
