Raccoon Media Group today announces 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 by Raccoon Media Group 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 new three-stream conference programme is aimed at care providers, service organisations, product developers, manufacturers, dealerships, and vendors from around the world. Attendees can expect a dynamic blend of CEU-accredited sessions, hands-on workshops, and interactive forums covering essential topics from market dynamics and regulatory compliance to consumer needs and distribution strategies.
Katy Roberts, Portfolio Director at Raccoon Media Group, commented: “This launch is about creating something truly transformative for the sector. We’re bringing together the best minds and innovators in accessibility, forging stronger ties with key associations and delivering a platform that fosters both business growth and better consumer outcomes. Abilities Expo already serves an incredible community and this next step allows us to connect the wider industry, drive innovation, and support those at the heart of what we do—the consumers, their families and caregivers.”
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.
Mike Seaman, Group CEO of Raccoon Media Group, added: “We are incredibly proud to be investing in the accessibility space with the launch of this international B2B conference series. This is a pivotal moment for our business and the sector at large. In just 12 months, we’ve reinvigorated the Abilities Expo brand and now we’re expanding its reach with a significant investment in global accessibility events. This move will offer unrivalled opportunities for collaboration, education and growth and further strengthens our commitment to creating events that deliver real impact for both industry professionals and the wider community.”
For UK and international companies looking to engage with a rapidly growing market, the Abilities International Accessibility Conferences present a unique opportunity to showcase products, share knowledge, and connect with key stakeholders in a high-value, collaborative environment.
