Innovate Access 2026

Small Business Britain and BT are excited to bring you Innovate Access 2026, a LILAC Centre event showcasing a range of AI and Assistive Technologies, bringing together innovators, leaders and change-makers behind these developments, and giving you space to connect, learn and share.

Guests can join for a day of interactive demonstrations, thought-provoking panels, and brilliant speakers. This is a chance to try out some products, meet the people building them, and see how AI and Assistive Tech can transform the way people work, connect, and create. Hear real stories from Disabled entrepreneurs, gain insights from leading tech companies, and connect with researchers, academics, and organisations who are driving change in this space.

Whether you’re curious about what’s already possible or excited for what’s coming next, Innovate Access 2026 will give you fresh ideas, actionable takeaways, and the opportunity to share your own lived experiences of using and working with assistive technologies and AI.

A day of innovation, community, and possibility. You won’t want to miss it.
