OPEN MINDS will hold the 2027 OPEN MINDS Autism & I/DD Executive Summit on Wednesday, June 9, 2027, from 9:45 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central Time at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside in New Orleans. The one-day summit runs inside the firm’s 2027 Strategy & Innovation Institute, held June 8–10, which organizers expect to draw more than 450 health and human services executives.
The summit is chaired by Joseph Naughton-Travers, Ed.M., a senior associate at OPEN MINDS, and its detailed agenda has not yet been released. The wider institute lists more than 30 speakers, 25 case studies and three learning paths built around strategic planning, marketing, service line development and adapting to technological, financial and policy change. Attendees can book the Hilton at an institute block rate of $264 per night, available through May 14, 2027.
Based in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, OPEN MINDS supplies market intelligence and management best-practice resources to organizations serving consumers with complex needs, and it runs a year-round series of executive institutes. The autism and I/DD summit is aimed at senior leaders of provider organizations, giving ABA executives a forum to weigh strategy, funding and growth alongside peers from the broader intellectual and developmental disabilities field.
