Learning Disability Wales Annual Conference 2026
Digital technology shapes how we connect, learn, work, and make choices every day. For people with a learning disability, it can open new doors to independence and communication, but only when design, ethics, and accessibility are done well.
Digital Lives, Learning Disability Wales’s Annual Conference 2026, will explore how digital tools from everyday apps to artificial intelligence can strengthen choice, voice, and control for people with a learning disability.
The event will look honestly at challenges such as digital exclusion, inaccessible systems, and ethical concerns, while celebrating the creativity and opportunities technology can offer.

We want Digital Lives to be shaped by the voices and experiences of the learning disability community. We are asking for proposals from:
- people with a learning disability
