About Transition Bootcamp
The Transition Bootcamp is an annual conference for parents/caregivers, youth with disabilities, educators and other professionals interested in transition from high school to adult life. This important conference provides in-depth information about various topics related to transitioning into adulthood. In addition to our breakout sessions, our Vendor Fair helps connect our attendees with Sponsors and Vendors to provide additional resources. This is a wonderful opportunity for our attendees to learn more about different organizations and programs within our community.
Sponsor & Exhibitor Information
Virtual Exhibit Hall
This year, the Transition Bootcamp Conference is going virtual and will take place over the span of 3 days. The conference will be held on a robust virtual platform which will provide a unique and prolonged experience. Attendees will have more exposure to our Sponsors and Vendors as they will have several opportunities to visit/access the Vendor/Exhibit Hall during and after the conference. Breakout sessions may also be “on-demand” after the conference has ended to provide an opportunity for registrants to attend more sessions. We see this as a big draw to get more attendees to register who wouldn’t be able to attend “live” but can take advantage of the “on-demand” feature and attend at a time that works best for their schedule. We will keep access to the virtual conference for a period of time after the live portion ends which extends the exposure for our sessions, Sponsors and Vendors.
