Access Panel Network Conference 2026: Community, Connection and Collaboration

Join Disability Equality Scotland as we host the Access Panel Network Conference 2026. 

Success for disability equality and Access Panels is learning from, working with and empowering each other. This is why the theme for this year's Conference is Community, Connection and Collaboration. 

We warmly welcome anyone who is interested in accessibility and inclusion, and a desire to improve the lives of disabled people across Scotland. This includes Access Panel members, professionals, activists, people with lived experience and anyone with a passion for creating a more inclusive accessible society.

The event will feature updates on Disability Equality Scotland’s progress over the past year, keynote presentations, networking opportunities, and interactive breakout sessions for knowledge sharing and collaboration. 

A full agenda for the day will be published shortly. 

'The Conference will be hosted Glasgow Caledonian University, those who are unable to attend in person can join the conference on Zoom.

The Access Panel Network Conference will be supported by closed captioning, as well as a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter.
