As November rolls in, it’s a great time to reflect on what brings us together—gratitude, community, and shared purpose.

We’re excited to carry that spirit into the 41st Annual Pacific Rim International Conference on Disability, happening in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi in 2026!

Our theme, “Unbreakable Threads: Communities of Resilience and Continuity,” celebrates the lasting connections and shared strength that hold us together—especially in times of change.

The Call for Proposals is now open!
Whether you’re a storyteller, researcher, practitioner, or innovator, we want to hear from you! Share your work that highlights resilience, continuity, and the power of community.

We’re also welcoming exhibitors and sponsors to join us in supporting this incredible event. It’s a great opportunity to connect with a passionate, global community and make a meaningful impact.

Let’s come together—in the spirit of aloha and gratitude—to help shape a future rooted in connection, inclusion, and shared purpose.
