The agenda features case studies, panel discussions, and hands‑on sessions for attorneys, trustees, financial planners, and related professionals. Over 80 speakers from courts, law firms, government agencies, advocacy groups, and consulting firms present expertise on topics such as disability benefits, long‑term services, tax strategies, and pooled trusts. Sponsors and exhibitors, prioritized for returning participants, showcase products and services for the special‑needs community. The conference offers networking, professional development, and resources to improve quality of life for beneficiaries while protecting public benefits.
