Where History and Momentum Meet
The ACRD 2026 Tech Summit takes place at Kimpton Santo San Antonio - Riverwalk, a hotel that pairs a modern downtown tower with the restored 1858 German-English School, one of the oldest gathering places in the city.
More than 13,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor space spreads across two ballrooms, five meeting rooms, and a courtyard shaded by century-old trees. It is a fitting backdrop for two days spent deciding what your firm builds next.
Venue Features
Spaces Built for Live Demonstrations and Evaluation
Reconfigurable ballrooms and meeting rooms with full audio visual and on-site tech support let vendors run real software against real workflows, so you assess the tools in operation rather than in a slide deck.
A Setting That Rewards Staying a While
A historic courtyard, three on-site restaurants and bars, and a rooftop lounge above the skyline turn the time between sessions into part of the agenda.
Accessible and Close to Everything
Fully accessible facilities, dining and a fitness center on site, and a downtown location minutes on foot from the River Walk and the convention center.

Conference
Overview
Build the technology stack that will define the next era of disability practice. The ACRD 2026 Tech Summit is two days for the people responsible for technology inside firms and practices, the leaders who evaluate, integrate, and deploy the tools that determine how their organizations run.
Through live demonstrations, real-world deployments, and hands-on technical sessions, you will see how automation, artificial intelligence, and modern data systems are reshaping intake, evidence development, hearings, and appeals. You will compare platforms side by side, pressure-test them against real Social Security disability workflows, and examine the questions that matter most to a technology leader, including integration, data security, scalability, and return on investment.
You will leave with the evaluation frameworks, integration checklists, and decision criteria you need to choose the right tools with confidence, along with a network of peers solving the same problems and concrete strategies grounded in real Social Security disability practice.
