Resilience in Action: An Immersive Conversation with Disability Inclusion Leaders
One in six people moving through a world not designed with them in mind. Systems that overlook them. At times, even push back.
To navigate that every day takes more than strength.
It takes resilience—the kind that adapts, persists, and redefines what’s possible.
And in a world facing deep uncertainty, that’s not just inspiring.
It’s something we all need to learn from.
Join us for an interactive, immersive experience featuring the Skoll Disability Inclusion Leaders—visionary individuals who are moving mountains and shifting systems around the world to be more inclusive. This isn’t a panel. It’s a dynamic, participatory journey into what it means to lead with resilience, purpose, and vision.

Why You Should Attend
This is more than an event—it’s a chance to be inspired by some of the most resilient leaders working today, and to connect with your own capacity for adaptive leadership in difficult times.
You’ll leave with a renewed sense of what’s possible—for yourself, your work, and your world.
