We refuse the idea that expertise only comes from institutions or credentials. Instead, we insist that Disabled people’s survival strategies, our creative adaptations, our ways of caring for each other, and our visions for liberation are the knowledge worth following.

​

Our annual conference gathers voices that are too often excluded

from dominant narratives and center them as experts in shaping knowledge, culture, and practice. It is an act of reclamation:

of voice, of power, of collective direction.

​

Each year, our gathering becomes a living archive of what it means to resist erasure and to build interdependent futures together. And we invite all who attend to not just listen, but to be changed—toward building communities and systems that honor us all.
