The first ever North Carolina conference for adult siblings of individuals with developmental disabilities will be held at the Hampton Inn & Suites Carrboro, just minutes away from UNC Chapel Hill. The conference will be followed by “Sibs InFocus,” a free gallery and networking event open to siblings and sibling supporters from the community at large. Siblings wanting to submit a photo for the gallery should note their interest when registering.
Conference registration is $30 and includes lunch. Priority registration ends March 3. Registration will be available thereafter at a rate of $50.
The conference room rate is $119/night. Call the hotel and use code “NCSibs” or visit book.ncsibs.org to book your room. Please contact Bryce Coleman at [email protected] for information about limited scholarships.
Come join us, make connections with other NC siblings, share and gain support and learn how to access supports for yourself and your sibling.
