iDiversity Assistive Technology Innovation Festival 2026

The event will showcase the latest developments in assistive technology, alongside a mix of presentations, practical workshops and live demonstrations.

There will be a strong hands-on focus throughout the day, giving delegates the opportunity to explore technology in practice, try out solutions, and see how different approaches can be applied in real-world settings.

Sessions will cover specialist areas including hearing impairments and ergonomics, along with practical strategies that can be applied straight away.
