Everybody Belongs is the premier event for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in BC. Inclusion BC’s annual conference provides sponsors with a unique opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to inclusion and diversity—and to participate in building a broader inclusive community.

The conference will bring together top people in their fields to present over 40 unique workshops on issues such as housing, education, indigenous engagement, and building community.

Your brand will be presented to an active and engaged audience of over 600 attendees including people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, families, advocates, educators, unions, government representatives, volunteers, allies of inclusion and diversity, and disability support professionals.


We hope you will join us in a partnership—to help you achieve your goals and to work together as we build a world where everybody belongs.
