Episode 16 - Friday Live Recap Q&A: CEUs, group rates, vendors, and pushing back on misinformation

Hey family, it’s Maria and Berry. Welcome back to Vision to Venue. This is our weekday behind the scenes series showing what it takes to bring our sixth annual Autism in Black Conference from the vision to the venue. Episode 16 is our first live Friday episode, which means we’re recapping the week and answering questions in real time.  ⸻ Register for the 6th Annual Autism in Black Conference Get your ticket here: https://funnel.autisminblack.org/conf... Dates: April 17, 18, and 19, 2026 Attend: In person in West Palm Beach, Florida or virtually from anywhere Included: Lifetime access to conference recordings (in person and virtual) Need help registering? Email: support@autisminblack.org  ⸻ Episode summary This live episode is a full Week recap plus Q and A. We revisit what we covered this week, including marketing, the registration page, People Spotlight on our conference planner, and the ongoing conversation about in person vs virtual. We also ask you to check in and tell us where you’re watching from, because the Autism in Black community is international and we love seeing it.  Then we get into your questions. We talk through affordability and access, why we keep a strong virtual option, the additional events and summits we host throughout the year, and how the Autism in Black Foundation helps sponsor virtual summits.  We also cover practical planning items like group rates, vendor access for virtual attendees, and what to do if you get stuck during registration.  And we address something we are not going to ignore. Misinformation. We respond directly to harmful vaccine misinformation, why it spreads, and how it can unfairly place blame on parents, especially mothers. Our message stays the same. We are committed to evidence based education and protecting our community from harm.  ⸻ What you’ll hear in Episode 16 • This is our first live Friday episode and how Fridays will work moving forward • The YouTube subscriber goal and why we want to hit 1,000 by the end of the series • Week recap: marketing, registration page walkthrough, Rhonda and Conference Architects, in person vs virtual • Options for families who cannot travel, plus year round events and virtual summits • Mental health resources and why therapy and community support matter • Group discounts for 5 plus attendees and how to request them • Registration support and where to email if the page is giving you trouble • CEU update: up to 13 hours for eligible licensed clinicians, with updates coming to the registration page • In person Saturday night Black Family Game Night details • Virtual vendor booth access and built in vendor shopping time for virtual attendees • How we handle “colorful comments” and misinformation, including vaccines and autism • End of episode: how to participate in Maria’s dissertation research (middle school teachers) ⸻ Highlights you don’t want to miss Group rates Yes, we offer group discounts.
