The Enabling Technology Engagement Network (ETEN) connects technology vendors with state aging, disability, and I/DD policymakers, health plan partners, and fellow vendors to accelerate market entry and shape the future of enabling technology in long-term services and supports.
As an ETEN member, you gain:
Direct Access to State LTSS Leadership — ADvancing States and NASDDDS collectively represent all 56 states and territories. Through quarterly collaborative meetings and a mid-year working session, members engage directly with the state directors who influence service requirements, funding decisions, and program implementation.
A Structured Path to Market — Rather than navigating fragmented entry points across individual states, members receive structured feedback from policymakers on operational needs, regulatory considerations, and implementation challenges — enabling product refinement before formal procurement decisions are made.
Conference Presence — Showcase your solutions at the HCBS Conference and/or NASDDDS Annual Conference through dedicated booth space during the Enabling Technology Half-Day Workroom, vendor-specific State Q&A sessions, and full conference registrations. (Available to Strategic Partner and Conference Partner tiers.)
Visibility Across the Field — Featured vendor spotlights in the ADvancing States Friday Update and NASDDDS newsletter reaching 15,000+ subscribers, logo placement on the ETEN website and event signage, and access to post-conference opt-in registration lists.
A Trusted, Neutral Environment — ETEN sessions are collaborative and problem-solving focused, not sales-oriented. Engagement happens through nonpartisan, state-driven organizations with long-standing credibility in the LTSS space.
