NCIL is excited to open registration for our 2023 Annual Conference on Independent Living! The theme of NCIL’s 2023 Annual Conference (ncil.org/ncil2023) is INDIVISIBLE.  

This summer, we will advocate together, unite as a movement, and fight against ableism and prejudice of all types.

We are bringing back NCIL’s iconic March and Rally. We will have many influential speakers and educational workshops. We’ll be making memories and making history. We hope you’ll join us.
