I wanted to get input about establishing a conference whereby the physically challenged could come together socially. My children came across a show 'Little People, Big World' and recently on the show, they attended a 'social' conference whereby little people came together to connect with each other. We thought would the physically challenged attend such a conference? I travel a great deal and have found that the biggest complaint of other SCI's is they never see other physically challenged individuals.

If there was a yearly conference for the physically challenged in different cities each time, would you attend? What might you like to see such as a sporting event, a night to get your grove on, wine tasting, video tournament, etc...

If you would not attend such a conference, is money the main factor?

I know there are Abilities Fairs and Expos, but their focus is on new products and services and the social part is a by-product.
