Learning Disability England believes that hope is a powerful act.
When and where:
Birmingham – 3rd March 2027
Online – 10th March 2027
Next year, the Annual conferences will focus on the theme Lead with Hope.
This celebrates hope as an active force for building good lives and a better future for people with learning disabilities and their families.
The events will create spaces that show the challenges that people face while celebrating what is possible when people come together to make change happen.
Learning Disability England wants to help shine a light on acts of hope and the individuals, groups and organisations making them happen.
In the conference programmes, Learning Disability England wants to:
– show the leadership of its Learning Disability England members
– share examples of people and organisations working with HOPE
– create a space for people to connect with others to learn or get energy (and HOPE)
There will be an online and in-person conference, both with the theme of Lead with Hope, but on different days, with different speakers and workshops.
The in-person conference will be in a central venue in Birmingham, very close to the New Street station with access to a changing places toilet.
