Announcing Keynote Speaker for Together We Can 2026: Chris Ulmer

We’re thrilled to share that Chris Ulmer from Special Books by Special Kids will serve as the keynote speaker for the Together We Can Conference 2026!

Known for his work in centering the voices of people with disabilities and their families, he creates a space for stories that are too often ignored, misunderstood, or spoken over. Chris Ulmer brings insight, authenticity, and practical strategies that resonate with families, self-advocates, and professionals alike.

Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 2nd at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, Varied Industries Building, and plan to join us for a meaningful and energizing start to this year’s conference.

All attendee registrations will be opening on March 6th.
