🌿 May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🌿

At IDAA, we recognize the importance of caring for our mental health and supporting one another along the way. This month is a reminder to check in with yourself and those around you, speak openly, and continue breaking the stigma together.

We are stronger in connection, compassion, and community. 💙

📅 It’s May 1st… which means the clock is officially ticking ⏳

Early bird pricing flies away on May 11th. We expect this conference to sell out, so now’s the time to grab that discounted rate and lock in your spot!

And trust us, you’ll want to be there.

Join us July 8–12, 2026 in GREAT CITY CHICAGO, the bold and welcoming “City of the Big Shoulders,” for a week that’s more than just a conference—it’s an experience. Think inspiration that sticks with you, connections that actually matter, and the kind of deep peer fellowship you don’t find just anywhere.

✨ Don’t miss it.
Secure your spot before May 11th and be part of something powerful.

PS: Book your hotel at the Marriott Magnificent Mile to access our discounted room block rates—availability is limited, and once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Our annual conference is more than just a meeting—it’s where members connect, recharge, and learn alongside peers who truly understand.

We’re making a final push to reach our $65,000 Scholarship Fund goal, with $19,000 raised so far and $46,000 to go.

No one should miss out due to financial barriers. Every dollar helps cover registration, lodging, and CE for members who otherwise couldn’t attend.

Whether you can fund a full scholarship or give a smaller gift, your support helps us say “yes.”
