The Missouri Association of County Developmental Disabilities Services (MACDDS) Conference – October 15-17, 2025

What an incredible experience at the MACDDS Conference! We’re grateful for the chance to connect with families, advocates, vendors, and community leaders all working toward the same goal: empowering individuals through choice and support. Thanks to everyone who came by to learn more about the self-directed care and to those who shared their journey with us. Your voices truly make a difference. Until next time!

Conference details: We’re excited to welcome you to Columbia, Missouri, for the 2025 MACDDS Annual Conference! This year, we’re drawing inspiration from our Keynote Speaker, Michael Hingson, and his remarkable guide dog as we embrace the theme: LIVE LIKE A GUIDE DOG.

Each track is thoughtfully designed to address the evolving needs of individuals with developmental disabilities and those who support them. We anticipate nearly 500 professionals, board members, individuals with disabilities, and family members will join us for this meaningful event.
