Raccoon Media Group

It's a big week at Raccoon - we are excited to announce a significant international expansion with the launch of the Abilities International Accessibility Conferences, a world-leading series of B2B events designed to unite professionals, innovators and organisations within the global accessibility and disability sector. Building on the legacy of Abilities Expo—a series of well-established consumer events in seven major US cities—this strategic expansion marks a bold investment to enhance global accessibility dialogue and drive business growth. Working hand-in-hand with key industry partners and associations, the new conference series will deliver cutting-edge education, professional networking and insights into the latest advancements in assistive technology, mobility therapy and disability services. The Abilities International Accessibility Conferences are planned to debut in Los Angeles, New Jersey and Chicago in 2026, complementing the consumer-facing Expos in these cities and providing a new dimension of thought leadership and commercial opportunity.
