Join us for our dynamic closing plenary, where we’ll harness the power of lightning rounds to illuminate key actions to advance corporate disability inclusion. Our speakers, each bringing unique expertise and insights, will engage in rapid-fire presentations, offering practical strategies, personal anecdotes, and visionary perspectives as they share their plans for action post-conference.  Using their plans as inspiration, you too will have an opportunity to solidify your own post-conference disability inclusion commitments after a week’s worth of insights.  The areas explored will align with the latest Global Disability Equality Index Action Findings of: Self-ID, ERGs, Accessibility Practices, Board Engagement and Supplier Diversity.  Get ready to leave Las Vegas with a plan to drive even more disability inclusion!
