InLife at Having a Say Conference | 27-29 January 2026

Join us in Geelong this January as VALiD’s Having a Say conference marks 25 years of strengthening the voices of people with disability.

7 January 2026 | By Jack Thompson-Bolt

We’re pleased to again support the Having a Say Conference, presented by VALiD, as a Silver Sponsor in 2026.

This year’s conference marks 25 years of Having a Say, under the theme Strengthening our voices for a better future. For a quarter of a century, the conference has brought people together to share experiences, build confidence, and ensure people with disability are heard on issues that affect their lives.

It is an event where people listen to each other, not just to the speakers on stage. It is an empowering experience where people respect each other’s views and opinions and celebrate their common causes and achievements.

Our team will be there across the three days. If you’d like to meet InLife or learn more about how we work with people who need ongoing, personalised support, you’re welcome to come and speak with us during the conference.

Details:

📍 Location: Deakin University’s Waterfront Campus in Geelong
📅 Date: 27 to 29 January 2026

We’re proud to continue our support of VALiD and to be part of a conference that centres choice, voice and lived experience.

Tickets and full conference details are available via VALiD
