The National Disability Authority would like to invite you to its Annual Conference 2024. This year’s event will examine the implementation of Article 30 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in Ireland, which focuses on the participation of people with disabilities in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport.

The conference will consider the extent to which Article 30 of the UNCRPD is being realised in Ireland; barriers faced by disabled people with regard to participation in cultural life, recreation, leisure and sport; potential solutions to these challenges; and good practices in Ireland and other countries.

A conference programme and ‘meet the speakers’ document are available on the NDA website.

The conference will be of interest to:

• Policy makers
• Public sector officials
• Local authority officials
• Disabled Persons Organisations and other disability organisations

The Conference will be a hybrid event, in-person at the Havelock Suite, Aviva Stadium, Lansdowne Road or online via Zoom. This event will be free of charge. You can register here
