The Zero Project Conference 2026 (#ZeroCon26)

More than 1,400 participants from around 100 countries attended #ZeroCon26 at the United Nations Office at Vienna. The annual conference has become a unique global meeting place to innovate for disability inclusion. This year, the topics were Accessibility, ICT, and Crisis Response.

Innovation, impact, and scalability: sharing solutions for disability inclusion

The conference agenda was centred around innovative solutions that had been evaluated and selected by the global Zero Project Network during the extensive, multi-step #ZeroCall26 research process: Zero Project Awardees of 2026.

The Zero Project Conference 2026 brought together innovators, policy makers, business leaders, practitioners, and other experts from around the world. The #ZeroCon26 Agenda covered emerging trends, key areas for disability inclusion, as well as specific topics relating to Accessibility, Information and Communication Technology (ICT), and Crisis Response.
