The 2026 ADA State of the Science Research Conference is a free, virtual event organized by the ADA National Network. Scheduled for February 26 and March 12, 2026, the conference aims to disseminate recent research findings related to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and its implementation across various sectors.
The conference will feature 'lightning talk' style presentations from ADA researchers, focusing on four key themes: employment, community living and participation, health and society, and community needs and access. Each session is designed to provide concise, impactful insights into current ADA research and its practical applications.
Attendees will have opportunities to engage with experts, participate in discussions, and access a range of resources. The event will include accommodations such as American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation, open or closed captions, and materials available in alternate formats to ensure accessibility for all participants.
This conference is ideal for individuals seeking to deepen their understanding of the ADA, including people with disabilities, family members, employers, state and local government employees, business owners, ADA coordinators, legal professionals, educators, and disability advocates. Participation will enhance knowledge of ADA-related research and its implications for various stakeholders.
