The theme of NCIL’s 2026 Annual Conference on Independent Living is Protect. Persist. Prosper.
 
We will organize to protect Independent Living and the programs and services that keep us out of institutions.

We will persist in advancing the Independent Living movement while honoring our hard-won victories, lived experience, and core values.

And there will come a day when the chaos and trauma of this moment are behind us. We cannot lose focus on building the future we deserve – a future in which our community thrives, prospers, and is respected for its contributions.

We hope you will join us!
