What Attendees Said

The ADS Summit was a fantastic experience! I met so many amazing people who are working to defend democracy, and in so many different ways. It was an awesome event and I look forward to the next one!

Mark Cable, Volunteer Coordinator, Voter Choice Arizona

The conference was well done and very informative. My only regret was that there was only one of me and I wanted to attend every session – all were great.

Lyn Dockter-Pinnick, BadAss Grandmas for Democracy

The ADS conference was a diverse gathering of really smart people who enthusiastically serve the public interest in many different ways. The conversations at the gathering were supported by excellent speakers, helpful volunteers, and an excellent hotel environment.
