The 5th annual DREAM (Disability Rights & Employment Awareness Month) Symposium takes place October 14–15, 2026 at the Empire State Plaza Concourse in Albany, NY.
The two-day, in-person DREAM symposium will unite advocates, employers, and community members to champion workplace inclusion and empower individuals with disabilities. With a job fair, resource fair, and assistive technology demos, the event is designed to empower job seekers and support New York’s Employment First and State as a Model Employer initiatives.
Speakers include faculty from the ILR School’s Yang-Tan Institute on Employment and Disability, and the institute has supported planning for the event.
