Elevate: Empowering Advocates, Expanding Impact

Join us Tuesday, 11/18 from 8-4pm, and Wednesday, 11/19 from 8am-12:30pm, to network with other advocates, learn from expert speakers, and grow together for our Annual Advocate conference! 

This year, we will feature multiple expert speakers who cover a wide variety of topics, ensuring that attendees gain a well-rounded perspective on advocacy, support, and best practices. The conference provides valuable opportunities for learning, networking, and professional growth, while also highlighting new insights and tools to strengthen the important work advocates do every day.

Training space and a room block has been planned for at the Embassy Suites by Hilton East Peoria Riverfront Hotel in Conference Center. All participant hotel reservations will be secured by CACI for Monday and Tuesday evening. If you will be needing a hotel for this training, please note that in your registration. Breakfast is free for all hotel guests. Lunch will be on your own, but there will be snacks and refreshments provided throughout the day. Hotel parking will be covered by CACI. We will be closing the room block and registration by 10/24/25.
