What people have said about the Disability Inclusive Pathways conference
"Great panellists and presenters. Wonderful sense of camaraderie in the room. I left with practical information to take back to my employer."
"Thank you for putting together an amazing event. Last year I said that it was the best conference I had ever been to, but I think it was even better this year."
"As someone currently without a physical disability or neurodiversity, I was humbled to be in a space where I could hear from disabled people in a safe environment."
"Everything was done very well! Very professionally pulled together, great speakers, great venue (and catering), great networking opportunity. All in all it was very enjoyable and gave me some great insights/resources to take back to my organisation."
"It was inspiring and life-changing and has given me information and steps to take to actively make my workplace more accessible to staff and customers. World class."
"Fidget toys were very helpful! Probably the best work conference I've ever been to."
"(Loved) connecting with like-minded people, the workshopping and re-energising me in this work and reminding me why we do what we do."
"It was an incredible experience. The venue, the way the days were planned, the people on the panels, and the length of the talks were all just right. I have taken away so many ideas to implement in my practice. The thing I liked most was how inclusive the entire experience felt, it was hard going back to normal life and readjusting after being in a lovely bubble surrounded by amazing, kind people who are motivated to support the disabled community."
"The mix of people with accessibility needs and people working with people with accessibility needs/employers (was great) - a great blend of perspectives. The range of topics covered was excellent."
"The speakers were all great, I especially liked hearing from disabled people and the struggles and successes they have had. The location was great."
