For more than 30 years, the Minnesota Autism Conference has been a place to learn, connect, and feel less alone — bringing together autistic adults, caregivers, educators, service providers, therapists, and advocates from across Minnesota and beyond.

In 2026, the Autism Society of Minnesota is making a thoughtful shift to a virtual, two–half-day format. This change helps us respond to rising event costs and budget challenges from 2025 while lowering the overall cost to our community. Going virtual allows us to keep this conference accessible to more people — no travel, no hotel costs, less time away from work or caregiving, and more flexibility for how and when you participate.

The heart of the conference stays the same. The format just makes it easier to join.
