We are excited to celebrate 30 years of Hands & Voices at the Hands & Voices Leadership Conference. In 2026, we return to our Colorado roots for a national gathering of families, professionals, and leaders committed to supporting children who are deaf and hard of hearing (DHH).

Every year we invite you to join us at our annual H&V Leadership Conference which is presented at a different Chapter locale every year. This is a conference for H&V Chapter Leaders, H&V GBYS and ASTra Programs, Family-Based Organizations, Parents of Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing, and All interested Professionals.

The Hands & Voices Leadership Conference brings together family leaders from all over the world to develop skills, to receive training on providing leadership to others, and to impact local systems. It is the only conference of its kind devoted exclusively to teaching family members with children who are deaf or hard of hearing how to be effective agents of change.

This conference is an excellent time to network and learn. Please help us build our audience by extending an invitation to a favorite teacher, your EHDI Coordinator, an important school administrator, or families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing. Not involved in Hands & Voices? No problem! This is a fantastic conference containing up-to-date information, fascinating conversations and networking, and exploration of content in new and exciting ways.
