2026 OPTION Annual Meeting
Hear. Lead. Inspire. From the Mountains to the Sea.
The 2026 OPTION Annual Meeting will bring together educators, administrators, and professionals from across the country for an energizing and collaborative gathering dedicated to advancing listening and spoken language education for children who are deaf or hard of hearing.
Set against the backdrop of both mountain vistas and coastal horizons, this year’s theme—Hear. Lead. Inspire. From the Mountains to the Sea—celebrates the journey of leadership, the power of connection, and the shared commitment to innovation in Listening & Spoken Language (LSL) education. Attendees will engage in keynote presentations, networking opportunities, and meaningful discussions designed to strengthen leadership skills, highlight best practices, and inspire new approaches in classrooms and communities alike.
Together, we will honor the progress made, explore challenges ahead, and reaffirm our collective mission: ensuring every child has the opportunity to listen, learn, and thrive.
