The two-day event brings together global experts to discuss accessibility, developmental disabilities, public health and disability, education, human rights, mental health, and independent living.

The Conference aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and research scholars to exchange and share their experiences and research results on all aspects of Disability and Diversity. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of Disability and Diversity.
