Location:
Westin Kierland Resort & Spa
6902 E Greenway Parkway
Scottsdale, AZ
What really sets this property apart for 2027 is the location. The Westin Kierland sits right up against Kierland Commons and Scottsdale Quarter, so restaurants, bars, shops, and entertainment are all just a short walk away — no car, no hassle, just step outside and you're there.
Pop outside the front doors and there is a free shuttle to take you over.
What Attendees Say
Family Information
The Annual Conference is a life-changing experience for people who stutter and their families. From workshops tailored for kids, tweens, and teens, to sessions designed for parents, siblings, and caregivers, the Annual Conference offers meaningful programming for every age and stage.
Adults who stutter, professionals, and speech-language professionals are also invited to connect and learn alongside this vibrant community. Much more than a typical conference, you can expect fun outings, interactive activities, and social events that help families build friendships and feel at home.
Join us and experience why this gathering is known as one big family reunion. When we come together, no one stutters alone.
More Than a Conference — It's a Homecoming
Whether it's your first time or your fifteenth, the Annual Conference experience is one of belonging and growth. In 2027, we invite you to join us in Scottsdale for a celebration like no other — because no matter what you've been told, your story and voice matter.
