2024 Association of Programs for Rural Independent Living (APRIL) Annual Conference

About the training

APRIL is excited to share more information about the upcoming APRIL Conference in Chicago, IL, October 11 - 13, 2024.

Register Today!

As our 30th Annual Conference, we are thrilled to celebrate in Chicago, Illinois because of the common theme surrounding pearls. The Fox River in Illinois has historically been known for it's pearls. Fun Fact: A 1911 article in the Record, a local newspaper, reported that $2 million in freshwater pearls were being harvested in Illinois annually. This meshes perfectly with this year being our 30th Annual APRIL Conference, as 30th anniversaries are known as the "Pearl Anniversary".
