Australia may be a small place in the global context, but when it comes to access and inclusivity, it’s important to stay connected and up to date with global advancements. At Vallabh Bailey Consulting (VBC), we recognize the significance of exploring what’s happening worldwide to bring strong, quality, and informative advice to our local communities.

With this in mind, we are thrilled to announce that Reeshika Vallabh and Chris Bailey, directors at VBC, will be attending the 5th Edition of AccessAbilities Expo in Dubai. This international event brings together delegates from around the world who share a common goal: advocating for and supporting people with diverse abilities. Dubai has prepared a dynamic showcase of innovative solutions and resources, catering specifically to the needs of the 50 million People of Determination in the region.

”Passionate about their work, Reeshika and Chris are eager to gain inspiration, expand their knowledge, and deepen their understanding of the capabilities within individuals with diverse abilities.”

 

The Expo presents a unique opportunity for VBC to immerse themselves in an environment where over 250 exhibitors, brands, and rehabilitation centers gather. From assistive technology providers to healthcare experts, this hub of innovation and inclusivity explores an extensive range of topics.

Reeshika and Chris will explore mobility aids, communication devices, hearing augmentation solutions, innovative solutions for the visually impaired, adaptive sports gear, universal design of innovative technology, barrier-free smart cities, employment training opportunities, healthcare advancements, accessible travel, and much more – all with the goal of enhancing people’s lives.

Exciting workshops and seminars are scheduled to delve into pertinent topics related to accessibility, advocacy, and empowerment. Through interactive device demonstrations and captivating discussions on inclusive design, our directors are confident that the AccessAbilities Expo will be an invaluable platform to connect with experts, fellow attendees, and organizations at the forefront of accessibility advancement.
