TASH’s Annual Conference Reaches a Powerful Market!

Connect With Your Target Audience

The work of TASH is as far-reaching and varied as its membership. No single disability conference offers your organization more direct contact with almost 1,800 decision-makers from a diverse range of settings and occupations. One of the greatest strengths of the annual TASH Conference is the talented and diverse audience that it attracts. 

People with disabilities, family members, elementary, high school, and university educators, students, researchers, occupational and physical therapists, adult service providers, public policy advocates, and many other professionals travel to this event from across the United States and from around the world. Every attendee brings with him/her a unique background and experiences.  They come as much for the renewal of spirit and the networking opportunities as for the superior information sharing. The spirit, energy, and commitment of this group is what makes the TASH conference such an exceptional event.
