Over the years, our Deafblind UK conference has seen increasing popularity, showing us just how much our audience values the importance of this annual event for the deafblind community. We’ve worked hard to bring you top industry leaders with real-world experience and insights to share. Our priority is to make this online conference accessible, engaging, and relevant, so you leave feeling empowered and enriched by what our key speakers have to offer.

Here’s why attending the Deafblind UK Conference will be one of the best things you do this October:

  1. Gain exclusive insights from our panel of world-class speakers, ready to share their stories, experiences, and insight into deafblindness.
  2. It’s an online event, meaning you can watch for FREE from anywhere!
  3. Don’t worry if you can’t make it on the day as all talks will be recorded, but you’ll need to register by the 3rd of October to gain access!
  4. Be part of an event specifically designed for people who are deafblind, those who care for people with deafblindness and professionals.
  5. Of course, we have made this an accessible event with BSL interpreters, closed captions and lip speakers on screen at all times.
  6. Learn about new research, approaches and ideas from key speakers.
  7. Have fun! Our online conference will introduce you to new people with new ideas and experiences!
  8. Surround yourself with like-minded people who have the same goal, to create a better and more inclusive society with accessibility being a priority for people who have sight and hearing loss.
  9. Have the opportunity to submit questions to our key speakers once their discussion has ended.
  10. Be part of the live discussion on the day! Use the hashtag #DBCon24 to get involved and network!
