If you liked Abilities Expo, you'll love the new Abilities.com! It's got something for everyone and, when you consider the vast and varied makeup of the Community, THAT is saying something. Your 24/7 link to information and inspiration awaits!
As the welfare and safety of our attendees and exhibitors are paramount, we have made the following changes to the upcoming Abilities Expos:
New York Metro: August 14-16, 2020
Toronto: October 2-4, 2020
The Chicago Expo is still months away on June 12-14 and we are proceeding with those dates in the hopes that we will no longer be under the threat of the Coronavirus. If there are any changes, we will update Abilities.com. Please stay safe and click here for coronavirus information and updates.
In much the same way as our live event reaches out to people with the full spectrum of disabilities, Abilities.com enlightens and entertains with articles, videos, contests and information on disability products, adaptive sports, assistive technology, community heroes, inclusive recreation and more!
