On behalf of the Council for Persons with Disabilities, thank you to everyone who attended, exhibited, volunteered, sponsored, presented, and supported this year's event. Together, we celebrated inclusion, accessibility, innovation, and the incredible talents and contributions of people with disabilities throughout our community.

Capable Con continues to grow because of the passion and dedication of our community partners, vendors, advocates, and attendees who believe in creating a more accessible and inclusive future for all.

A special thank you to our volunteers, organizing committee, exhibitors, and community supporters whose hard work made this event possible. We are grateful to everyone who helped make our 5th anniversary event such a tremendous success.

The conversations, connections, and opportunities created this weekend will continue long after the event has ended.
