What makes it unique is that the people who attend or gather are both: Seekers of information, stories, experiences and ideas, and Sharers of information, stories, experiences and ideas Conversations that Matter: Building Opportunities through Employment Meet subject matter experts on supported employment that will present on best practices nationally and new Georgia initiatives. Participate in a community dialogue to advocate for services in your area. Network with other advocates in the community who care about the future of adult services for people with developmental disabilities. Learn about how you can get connected to statewide advocacy efforts.
