The DD Network has held three conferences in our series so far:
- Little Rock in 2024
- Texarkana in 2025
- Jonesboro in 2026
This event is part of a conference series. More conferences will be held around the state. If you are interested in attending a future conference, please send us a message requesting to be added to the OLOW interest list.
- One-day follow-up events will be held in between the conferences so the DD Network stays connected to the communities we have visited across the state.
- In development – a one-day mini-conference for individuals with developmental disabilities ages 12-17 and their families! We heard your requests and are working to develop this event.
