Registration
Thank you for your interest in the 2017 HCBS Conference. Registration for the 2017 Conference will open in late April.
Why Attend
While faced with new challenges, reduced budgets, and growing populations requiring more services, states are stronger than ever and the work they do is more effective than ever in reaching individuals and addressing their needs. The National Home and Community Based Services (HCBS) Conference highlights these achievements, allowing states to share innovative programs, present unique partnerships, and recognize the work of their peers.
The HCBS Conference, held in Baltimore, MD August 28-31st, will include federal, state, and local policymakers and those who administer, manage and deliver waiver and other HCBS programs. The conference always sees a strong presence from U.S. Health and Human Services, ranging from the Administration for Community Living (including the Administration on Aging, Office of Disability, and Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, as well as the Health Resources and Services Administration, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Office of Developmental Disabilities, and other federal agencies.
The 2016 National HCBS Conference was the largest to date, with over 1,300 attendees traveling from all fifty states, as well as Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We are excited to announce that the 2017 National HCBS Conference will be held at the Marriott Waterfront Baltimore, in Baltimore, MD.Registration FAQs
