Boundless AF – Accessible Travel & The Right to Move

The right to move freely is fundamental — yet disabled people continue to face systemic barriers across travel, transportation, and tourism.

Boundless AF explores the realities of accessible travel today, from damaged mobility devices and inconsistent infrastructure to broader system failures that continue to impact independence, safety, and participation. Through lived experience and industry insight, this conversation will examine what it takes to build a future where movement is seamless, dignified, and truly inclusive.

Expect honest discussion about air travel, transit, accessibility standards, and the growing push for accountability across the transportation sector. Together, these speakers will challenge outdated systems while spotlighting the innovation, advocacy, and cultural shifts helping move accessibility forward.
