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 2027, the Autism Society of Minnesota will return to a live in-person event with virtual hybrid elements. From April 14-16, the conference will span 3 days, with the first day completely virtual, and the following two days in-person with remote options at the Doubletree by Hilton Minneapolis Airport Hotel.
We are looking forward to preserving the accessibility of the online format while reinstating the in-person opportunities for connection and socialization.
Our call for Speakers is now open. We are seeking Breakout Presenters for in-person sessions on Thursday, April 15 and Friday April 16. Review the criteria, selection process, and application below.
Rooted in Community, Shaped by Autistic Voices
The Minnesota Autism Conference has always been shaped by the community it serves. Sessions were informed by lived experience, current research, and practical application — with a focus on dignity, inclusion, and neurodiversity-affirming practices.
By attending, sponsoring, or sharing the conference, you supported AuSM’s mission to build a more understanding, inclusive, and accessible Minnesota for autistic people of all ages.
Sponsor the Minnesota Autism Conference
Where learning, access, and impact meet.
As Minnesota’s largest autism-focused learning event, the Conference offers sponsors:
-
Direct access to professionals and families seeking trusted resources
-
Brand visibility before, during, and after the event
-
Extended exposure through a printed conference program given to every attendee
-
Alignment with AuSM’s mission to advance education, advocacy, and support
This is more than sponsorship—it’s an investment in community-wide learning.
