Growing Up Deaf Summit All-Access Pass
September 17 - 20, 2026

Your Summit Goody Bag

Our presenters and sponsors put together a stack of free things for you. Guides, printables, discount codes, a place to practise signing with actual humans. It is all right here.

The goody bag closes on Monday, September 21st. Grab what you want now rather than adding it to the list of things you'll get to later.

From our sponsors and partners

Two helpful resources to learn ASL.

Premier sponsor

7 days free inside The Signing Room

The Signing Room hosts virtual ASL group practice sessions, hosted by a Deaf language model. Grouped by level so you are never the only one fumbling and never the one holding everyone back.

If there is nobody in your life who signs, this is where you get to practise.
