This year's theme is "Together We Thrive: Advocacy, Belonging, and Connection for All." Organizers selected this focus to convey a message of unity and collaboration. It reflects their belief that through collective effort, shared understanding, and mutual support, we can create communities where autistic individuals are strengthened to reach their full potential.

This theme calls all stakeholders to come together, advocate for positive change, create inclusive spaces, and build strong, supportive connections. The conference will feature nationally recognized keynote speakers and multiple breakout sessions each day.
