Summer 2026 Pilot

We are excited to host 4-6 events during Summer 2026 in Denver, CO! We’re piloting a supported, predictable concert experience — designed with caregivers and delivered with in-venue supports — that creates safe, joyful nights for adults (18+) with autism and/or IDD. Each participant is required to have a caregiver accompany them for the pilot as we refine our approach.

What to expect

  • Advance planning and pre-show meet-up with participants and caregivers

  • Day-of meet-up and check-in before the show

  • Coordinated entry and seating

  • A sensory kit and ear protection options to use as needed

  • Wayfinding, break plans, and step-away support at the venue as needed in partnership with participants, caregivers, and venue staff

  • Smooth exit and debrief

  • Post-event survey to share your experience and help us improve!

We use a prevention-first approach; if a safety issue arises, we’ll coordinate with caregivers and venue staff immediately for a safe exit. We’re not able to provide transportation to or from events, personal care (e.g., personal hygiene, toileting, feeding), or clinical or medical services (e.g., medication administration).

Pilot goals

  • Deliver inclusive live music experiences to participants

  • Identify which supports matter most before, during, and after the show

  • Clarify the venue conditions and partner practices that make the model work smoothly

  • Define the staffing, training, safety, and coordination requirements for repeatable implementation

  • Produce a practical playbook for future venue partnerships and scaled replication

Partnerships

Our venue partner point of contact share processes for entry and seating, identify step-away spaces, and assist with a smooth exit if a safety issue arises.

Our community partners share feedback to strengthen our model and help us reach people who may be interested in participating in the pilot.
