Each year, in collaboration with EDF, the European Commission organises the European Day of Persons with Disabilities (EDPD) Conference to mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
This 2-day event brings together more than 400 policy-makers, high-level experts and disability advocates. The conference offers an excellent opportunity to share concerns and aspirations, as well as initiate dialogues with public authorities and stakeholders.
