Global Disability ERG Summit

Global Disability ERG Summit

About the Global Disability ERG Summit


The PurpleSpace Global Disability ERG Summit brings together disability Employee Resource Group (ERG) and Network leaders, executive sponsors, HR and DEI professionals, allies and workplace inclusion champions from around the world.

Held across multiple global locations during September and October 2026, every Summit contributes to one global conversation, helping us understand the prevalence, maturity and impact of disability ERGs and Networks worldwide.

The insights gathered will inform the second edition of the Purple Planet report, produced by PurpleSpace in association with the United Nations International Labour Organisation (ILO).


During this Summit, you will:

Contribute to global research mapping the prevalence, maturity and impact of disability ERGs and Networks.
Share practical leadership insights, experiences and challenges with peers from across industries.
Discover how organisations at different stages of disability inclusion are driving meaningful change.
Build new connections through facilitated networking and interactive discussions.
Help shape the future of disability confidence in workplaces around the world.


This is an interactive session designed to encourage discussion, collaboration and the sharing of practical ideas. Whether you're leading a well-established ERG or just beginning your journey, your experience will help shape the global picture.

We will take the opportunity to discuss and contribute to 3 big questions:
1. How do we move from awareness to influence
2. How do we build sustainable leadership
3. How do we demonstrate impact

Please sign up to join us below at one of our in person or hybrid events.
