The field of autism research is moving from its troubled history of research on autistic people to research with autistic people. This recognition of the need for research both with and by autistic people means there is also a need to understand the extent to which autism conferences include or exclude the voices of autistic people. In this chapter, participants reflect on their experiences in attending conferences as recipients of knowledge, active participants in the conversation, and conveyors of information. Topics discussed include sensory issues, conference organisation, social interaction and networking, in-session interaction, in-session information, inclusion, and online conferences.
