DAY 1: Sharing big ideas and powerful insights
Disability innovation today...the good, the bad, the untold
- Inclusive infrastructure: can cities be inclusive?
- Innovation: are ecosystems ready to scale for success?
- Participation and leadership: No tech about us, without us
- What fails: and what's not needed. Disability dongles, failure or learning curve
- What works: and why
