DRNC Disability Advocacy Conference
Across North Carolina, people with disabilities, advocates, and allies are shaping a future where everyone belongs. At the 2026 Disability Advocacy Conference, themed In This Together, we’ll celebrate the progress we’ve made and chart the path forward – together.
Join us May 6 at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill as more than 350 advocates, allies, and leaders gather for a day of insightful discussions, breakout sessions, and community building focused on ensuring that disabled people have the support, rights, and opportunities they deserve and continue fighting for.
