Join us, and continue this extraordinary journey
In the tradition of Pac Rim, the 2012 conference will revisit familiar themes and explore new directions through scholarship, best practice, and international networking.

With over 200 sessions including Pacific Rim forums and symposia, post-conference summits and beach activities you will not regret the time spent on our islands. The Web site is updated every 2 weeks and by the end of January, you will be amazed at the range of keynote speakers and special events we have in store just for you!
This year’s topics include: Accessible Worlds, Developmental Disabilities, Disability Studies and Culture, Educational Justice, Early Intervention, Focus on Youth: Mental Health and Social Change, Focus on Youth: Teen Pregnancy, STI Prevention and Youth Wellness, Hidden Disabilities, Independent Living, Public Health and Disability, The 21st Century: What is Advocacy?

If you are only able to attend one conference this year, choose Pac Rim 2012 in Honolulu. Traditionally this conference is one of the most exciting for presenters and attendees—providing a unique balance of cultures, and issues of local, national and international importance.
We hope to see you in March.
Aloha,
Robert Stodden, Director, Center on Disability Studies; Chair
