Events

Disability Dialogue events are fun, engaging events for our community to come together and talk about things that matter to them. To keep our events safe and inclusive, we’ve drafted some rules of engagement for Disability Dialogue events.

At our events, speakers might share their experience with certain products and apps. At the Disability Dialogue we would never recommend or promote any products or services – this is simply shared for your information, so you can decide what’s right for you.
