Please join us in attending the virtual University of Maryland Disability Summit that helps us carry disability inclusion forward while we navigate new realms of accessibility and many disability issues that the pandemic made plain. This free conference will help build the momentum of access and inclusion, especially in crisis. There are many skills that we need to carry into the "new normal" which must center intersectional applications of racial and disability justice.
The 4th University of Maryland (UMD) Disability Summit will be held April 12th-14th, 2021 via Twitch, YouTube, Livestream, and Zoom. The goal of the summit is to bring focus to and promote discussion of key current events and research impacting disability in society.
The University of Maryland Disability Summit was established in 2016 as a forum for professionals, educators, academics, service providers, allies, and advocates focusing on disability issues to dialogue and collaborate across types of disability and institutions. All submissions are peer-reviewed by a committee of students, faculty, and staff who represent a range of areas of expertise and experience with disability issues.
Please register for the conference at go.umd.edu/2021registration and share your vision of inclusive and accessible resources, skills and actions. We hope to see you there!
