Everybody Belongs

Find Empowerment Through Connection

Welcome to British Columbia’s biggest learning event for intellectual and developmental disabilities, inclusion, and diversity. The conference is a fantastic opportunity to connect, share, and get the latest information and resources on inclusion and diversity. 

Everybody Belongs! is open to everyone, including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, family members, advocates, educators, government representatives, volunteers, disability support workers, and allies of inclusion and diversity.

Scholarships 

We have a small number of scholarships each year, available to people experiencing financial barriers. Scholarship funding will be available to cover registration costs, and some funds will be available to cover travel and accommodation expenses.

Priority for the scholarships is given to self advocates, family members, people who have never been to the conference before and those who have not received a scholarship in the past 3 years.

Scholarship applications have now closed. Thank you to everyone that applied.
