Washington APSE Employment Conference Sept 28-Oct 30, 2026 in Tukwila, Washington

The Employment Conference is the only regional event in Washington that focuses exclusively on community integrated employment for people experiencing an intellectual or developmental disability.  Our all-volunteer committee includes perspectives of self-advocates, employment specialists, directors, consultants, family members, and employers.  We are passionate about Employment for All.

This year we are hosting 250 attendees in person and offering a virtual option to ensure accessibility for those unable to attend in Tukwila.  We have an exciting keynote speaker and innovative presentations from subject matter experts across the state and beyond! The WA APSE Employment Conference encourages conversations, builds community, and advances Washington’s commitment to Employment First!
