Crip Narratives: Controlling our Stories 

April 22 – 24, 2025 

“Unapologetically” Online for now, forever 

Free and open to all

The IDGS ‘25 theme is “Crip Narratives: Controlling our Stories.” 

Disabled researchers, journalists, artists, authors, musicians, and other creators have worked to center the voices of their communities through their projects—and have succeeded in many arenas. The digital landscape presents opportunities for innovation and collaboration in advancing disability rights, but accessibility is often seen as an afterthought. Through collective action and a commitment to accessibility, we can ensure that the digital world becomes a place where all voices are heard and valued, regardless of ability.

We are no longer accepting proposals.
