This unmissable conference, celebrates the bravery, determination and ambitions of Scotland’s disabled people.
It showcases inspirational work by young disabled groups, offers insight into Scotland’s business community to make meaningful changes and seeks to offer each of the 275 invitees the opportunity of viewing accessibility through a new lens into what makes life very challenging for around 20% of our population. This conference asks one thing from its attendees – that when leaving – will you leave as a champion for Scotland’s aspirations on accessible travel, by enabling all its disabled citizens to travel with the same freedom, choice, dignity and opportunity as other citizens?
It is a packed day in an excellent venue, it’s interactive and layered with humour, knowledge and experiences. Michael Matheson Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity will open the event, there is also a fantastic range of guest speakers appearing.
