Applied Self-Direction hosts the premier national conference dedicated to self-direction. Our conference brings together state and federal government representatives, managed care organizations, Financial Management Services (FMS) providers, individuals and families who self-direct, and other key stakeholders from across the country to collaborate on advancing self-direction. 


Established in 2006 as a one-day Fiscal/Employer Agent (F/EA) Conference, our event has evolved into a comprehensive two-day National Self-Direction Conference. 

We offer an in-person conference every other year, complemented by a virtual conference series in the off years. Our next virtual conference is scheduled for Spring 2025, while our next in-person conference will take place in Spring 2026. 

    This is my first time attending this Self-Direction Conference. I had a great time and have a lot of take aways. This conference was put together wonderfully and very informative. Thank You.
