The 2026 Disability Summit: Envisioning the Future of Disability Inclusion at the Pennsylvania Convention Center was AMAZING!

Over the course of two inspiring days, this summit brought together advocates, community leaders, businesses, educators, healthcare professionals, and policymakers to turn conversations about inclusion into meaningful action to make an impact.

We couldn't be more excited to have played such a vital part in advancing disability advocacy in our communities and encourage everyone (whether you were at the conference or not) to turn your words into action.
