Put your organization at the heart of autistic community leadership.

The Autistic Community Summit is a one-of-a-kind gathering created by autistic people, for autistic people. With more than 150 autistic adults coming together for education, community-building, and resource sharing, this event centers lived

 experience, self-advocacy, and collective care.

By sponsoring, your organization:

  • Stands with autistic-led leadership

  • Supports community access and equity

  • Gains meaningful visibility with a deeply engaged audience

Your sponsorship directly strengthens autistic voices and autistic futures.

A space where autistic people gather, learn, and lead—together.

Each year, the Autistic Community Summit brings together:

  • Autistic adults from across Minnesota

  • Autistic speakers and educators

  • Community organizations and allies

  • Resource providers committed to neurodiversity-affirming care

This is not a conference about autism—it is a summit rooted in autistic leadership, autonomy, and expertise.

Sponsors are invited to participate as:

  • Resource exhibitors

  • Community supporters

  • Champions of access and inclusion
