DbI Conferences: Meet Us and Exchange With Us!
Our conferences are of outmost importance for connecting, exchanging and learning from each other.
Our next World Conference, organized for the first time together with the World Federation of the Deafblind WFDB, will take place in Davos, Switzerland, July 19-23, 2027.
The main World Conference will be preceded by a joint Pre-Conference of many of the 18 DbI Networks on July 18 and 19, and there will be a Youth Camp in connection with the World Conference for the first time.

Help us make our conferences as inclusive as possible!
Our conferences are of outmost importance for connecting, exchanging and learning from each other. However, many interested persons with deafblindness and/or from low and low middle income countries need financial support to participate. Please support individual sponsorships for our next World Conference. Thank you so much in advance!
