Session Proposals for the World Congress are now open!
The 2025 World Congress theme, “We Are Inclusion” is all about who we are as a movement, which means we need YOU to help lead the conversation!
At the World Congress, we want to celebrate the work of our network – hearing from self-advocates, families, and their organisations about what works to make inclusion a reality around the world.
At the World Congress, over 100 sessions on different topics that are important to our network will happen over the 3 day conference.
Could your organisation lead one of of these sessions?
- Do you have a piece of work or a good example your organisation is proud of that you want to share?
- Do you have a big success that our network might want to know about?
- Have some big questions or a challenge that you want to discuss with a group of members?
Hosting a session at the World Congress is a way to spotlight your work, share stories about what works, and learn together alongside the rest of our network.
Read on for more information about how to apply to host a session.
