Combating Ableism and Driving Positive Change

Watch this thought-provoking session with Alice Wong, a celebrated disabled activist, author, and founder of the Disability Visibility Project. In conversation with Glenda Sims, Alice shares her journey as a self-described disabled oracle and cyborg, offering unique perspectives on combating ableism and reimagining disability as a source of joy.

Through engaging storytelling and actionable insights, Alice discusses the importance of shifting perceptions of accessibility from being a burden to an act of love. She unpacks common misconceptions and highlights strategies for building communities that thrive on collaboration and advocacy.

What the Axe-con 2025 participants said…

“Another amazing conference. I can’t say enough how I look forward to this every year and how many times I reference the presentations or recommend the conference.”

“Every year before Axe-con, I make the pitch for my colleagues to attend. The wide range of topics and content covered makes the recommendation an easy suggestion — thank you for everything!

“Huge thanks to everyone involved in making this super-important conference so great. My friends are already sick of hearing me go on and on about how great it was.”
