What is an (Un)Conference?

The Idaho Autism Summit presents our 2021 virtual (Un)Conference!

We know in these uncertain times that things look a little different. This is why we're moving the 2021 Autism Summit to an online format. The virtual (Un)Conference will feature four sessions scheduled as a weekly series every Saturday in April from 10am to 12:30pm MT on Zoom.

We are planning to provide a way for all people to share their lived experience, knowledge, and ideas about creating and promoting acceptance of people with ASD in our communities. NO CMEs / CEs / CEUs.

Submit your stories

We want each (Un)Conference session to feature stories from our friends and community – your stories. Can you speak to the human experience? What experience transformed you? What story do you have to tell? What would you like to share?

All great ideas (with a hefty dose of passion and courage) are welcome – they do not have to be “evidence-based”. All speakers are welcome – you do not have to be an "expert”. You just have to speak from the heart. Submissions are due by January 31, 2021. 

We are looking for:

• Ted Talk like sessions – 5 to15 minutes long
• Positive, inspiring, passionate solutions-focused talks
• Presentations that will inspire and transform (raw and straight from the heart)
• Poems, art, comedy, and other forms of expression are welcome
• Involvement of individuals with Autism and their families (planning to execution) is top priority.
