Therap will be hosting a conference in Atlanta, Georgia in June 2012 for Developmental Disability Providers. The developmental disability software conference will be June 5-6, 2012.

The conference will be at the Holiday Inn Atlanta/Roswell.

Additional information will be posted on the website concerning the conference.

This is part of an increasing amount of conferences and user groups in the Southeast.  For 2012 we already have Regional Conferences scheduled for Georgia, Tennessee and Florida.

Therap’s 2012 conference in Tennessee will be September 18-19,2012  in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. This conference is  for providers of service to people with developmental disabilities. More information and registration will be posted on the website in 2012.

Each conference we run has different characteristics. This is the second conference we are running in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We are again running in conjunction with College of Direct Support.

One interesting difference between the Tennessee conference and many other conferences is the number of different states that we have attendees from. At the recent conference in Buffalo, NY we only had users from New York State.   For the conference in Tennessee we already have attendees from the developmental disabilities communities in Indiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Georgia and Iowa as well as Tennessee.

This is a probably a function of both Jason Laws discussions with provider agencies in Georgia and other states as well as Nashville being a Southwest Airlines hub and the good interstate highways reaching into Tennessee.

The mix of users is a good example of why we schedule these conferences and not only have user groups which usually cover a smaller area.
