Join your colleagues from across Illinois September 2 - 4 at the Embassy Suites in East Peoria, Illinois for the 2026 IARF Educational Conference & Expo!
Our three-day conference is the premier annual gathering for community-based I/DD and Behavioral Health providers in Illinois. The agenda features educational sessions for all staff levels, dynamic keynote speakers, an interactive exhibit hall featuring industry partners, and the return of the IARF Marketplace. Attendees can also look forward to a full day dedicated to DSPs, valuable networking opportunities, and the popular Thursday evening social event.
