Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Advancing accessibility through regional leadership and global connection

In 2027, Disability:IN will convene four in-person Global Summits aligned with Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) on May 20, 2027.

Each summit brings together business leaders, accessibility experts, and innovators to explore the evolving intersection of accessibility, artificial intelligence, and disability inclusive business practices.
