Naidex 2026
25-26th March 2026 | Birmingham NEC, in-person event
Join us for Naidex, the UK’s biggest disability expo! We will have an exhibition stall with members of our committee as well as doing a panel discussion (2:50-3:30 pm on the 26th March) around the Future of Disabled Leadership.
“How can we envisage truly inclusive leadership? What systems need to change in order to help support more disabled people to become leaders across sectors? How can we, as disabled people, apply our unique lived experience as leaders?
Join The Disabled Leaders Network, a platform of emerging and established disabled leaders run in a partnership between the Snowdon Trust and the Global Disability Innovation Hub, for a discussion on inclusive leadership. The panel will be highlighting the various routes to leadership, both formal and informal, and what makes disabled people excellent leaders. The session will discuss the ways in which disabled leaders can rewrite the notion of leadership in order to create more inclusive and innovative systems for all, whilst also exploring the challenges of balancing leadership with health in an ableist world.”
