Are you ready for our biggest event of the year?

Welcome to the IDS Conference 2025! We’re at the Glasgow Science Centre on Monday 17 March and Tuesday 18 March to hear from global experts on technology and accessibility.

A range of speakers and panels will highlight the role of cutting-edge technologies and sustainability practices in creating inclusive environments in public spaces, at home and in the workplace. Speakers will also focus on how emerging technologies can bridge the accessibility gap in developing regions to allow advancements in technology benefit all communities.

We want to focus on ensuring everyone with sight loss has access to the technology they need to live the life they want to lead. Thanks for joining the conversation. #IDS2025

Events are all about bringing people together, so there’s no better way to share ideas on the convergence of sustainability, innovation, and emerging technologies in the context of inclusive design.
