Mark your calendars and pack your bags, we’re heading to Las Vegas, Nevada! Join us January 13–15, 2026, at the iconic Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino for a celebration that’s forty years in the making.
As the premier gathering for the limb loss and limb difference community, National Conference 2026 (ACNC26) is more than a conference—it’s where connection, learning, and celebration come together in one unforgettable experience. Whether it’s your first time or your tenth, you’ll find something meaningful waiting for you here.
This year, we’re proud to partner with Wheel the World, a trailblazing organization committed to creating accessible travel and experiences. Together, we’re making sure ACNC26 is welcoming, supportive, and meaningful for everyone who attends.
ACNC26 is the Amputee Coalition’s biggest event of the year—and it’s all about support, education, and advocacy that reflects our mission and our community. From pickleball and yoga to art clinics, workshops, and roundtable conversations, there’s something for everyone. It’s a place to learn, connect, and leave feeling energized for what’s ahead. You won’t want to miss it.
Everyone is welcome!
- Individuals of all ages and backgrounds who have limb loss and/or limb difference

Yes! We will be running a CPV Training as a pre-conference event this year! It will be on Monday, January 12th from 8AM to 4PM. Please see our CPV Training page to learn more: https://40years.amputee-coalition.org/cpv-training/ & reach out to peersupport@amputee-coalition.org with any questions you may have!
We have a goal to train over 100 people so please share widely!
Yes, everyone is welcome to attend, however Amputee Coalition cannot facilitate any invitation letters, visa, or travel requests associated with international travels. All attendees are responsible for ensuring they coordinate and obtain all necessary paperwork, visas, tickets, etc. for their travels.
If you qualify for Paratransit in your home state – you may request a “Visitor Status” with the Southern Nevada Paratransit Program. The steps to do this include:
- Call Paratransit Customer Service at 702.228.4800
- Request to be transferred to the “Certification Office” which has hours of 8AM – 4PM Local time Monday to Thursdays.
- Share your local Paratransit information and when you will be visit Las Vegas for our conference!
- “Visitor Status” will be given & you will have access to rides. Please note: Amputee Coalition does not run or manage this service, so please make sure you ask all the questions you have to the certification office so you fully understand how the requests for rides work once you arrive in Las Vegas.
No, unfortunately, the monorail does not connect the airport to the Westgate Resort and Casino. Accessible Transit (Paratransit) is available (see the steps in the previous FAQ); otherwise, taxis and rideshares will need to be used for transport to the Westgate.
Exhibit Booth related:
How many guests are we allowed to have at our booth?
-
You gain two free registrations with the purchase of a 10×10 booth space. If you wish to invite more people in to work your booth, you will need to register each additional person via the “Sponsor/Exhibitor Additional Registrations” at $475 per registration. You may purchase as many additional registrations as you need. https://web.cvent.com/event/89ffa007-4002-4fe5-919b-aeaa9808c9fb/regProcessStep1?rp=5c56a6e2-ea9e-46da-8e7f-7ccb4aed22df
Can we do mini presentations at our booth at scheduled times?
-
No – formal presentations must be done by purchasing a 30-minute product theater slot. You are allowed to do demonstrations as attendees walk by, but only through the purchase of a Product Theater slot do you gain access to: 1. Unopposed Exhibit Hall time/attention of our attendees 2. AV equipment/Stage for your presentation. Attempting to do mini presentations within your booth space will create conflict with companies who have bought Product Theater time. We thank you for understanding and respecting this nuance as every company wishes to present in some way, so this is the best way to make sure each group gets the time/attention/space/equipment they deserve. You may book your Product Theater slot by reaching out to: sales@amputee-coalition.org
We are also thinking of doing a more formal workshop. How would that work?
-
We do not offer company/product based workshops – the intention of our sessions throughout the conference are that they are community member-led as they organically create connection with members of the community who have limb loss and loss difference.
