For two days, Solomons Island, Maryland will be the place for those concerned with developmental disabilities in the state as more than 250 people gather to learn, play and strategize on key issues. They will collectively represent thousands of people living with developmental disabilities in the state. The 2007 State Convention provides you a unique opportunity to introduce or connect with a cadre of service providers, professionals, volunteers, people with developmental disabilities and their families who need your services and products.

Just looking to demonstrate your commitment? This event affords you the opportunity to support the work of The Arc in your community and throughout the state.

We are pleased to offer four levels of support as well as options to sponsor registration bags and badges. You can also exhibit, advertise in our program (a keepsake honoring award winners) or support the Silent Auction with a product or gift donation. Sponsors also receive a free tabletop in the exhibit area if desired. These are all options, not limitations. If you don't see something that works for your organization, call us. If you have a custom-designed idea specifically for showcasing your company, we'd like to talk about it.
