The Idaho Partnerships Conference on Human Services is a large regional conference in the Pacific Northwest focusing on providing quality training to human service professionals, teachers, counselors, parents, self advocates and community members who serve and support people with disabilities and mental illness. We bring together over 700 attendees each year.
Our 2018 conference is scheduled on October 25th and 26th, 2018 in Boise, Idaho at Boise State University.
This year’s conference will focus on bringing the most innovative, cutting edge techniques and information in the disability services field to our attendees. Speaker presentations will offer new ideas, insights and strategies to inspire and challenge our audience.
