Beyond Limits Annual Conference is a chance to come together in person to connect and learn about topics related to the disability community.
2025 Theme: Connection and Belonging
We all need strong relationships and community networks to grow and nurture a sense of inclusion, purpose, acceptance, and well-being.
Join us at Beyond Limits: Canada’s Conference for Diversity and Accessibility as we explore how to support connection and belonging for others and ourselves.
Opening Keynote:
Dr. Al Condeluci
Al Condeluci has been an advocate, a catalyst for building community capacities, and leader in understanding social culture since 1970. Born and raised in the steel town of Pittsburgh, PA, still making his home there, Al received his Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Youngstown State University, his Masters in Social Work and Ph.D. in Education from the University of Pittsburgh. Since 1970, he worked as an attendant, caseworker, advocate, planner, program director and finally, CEO of Community Living and Support Services (CLASS) until his retirement in late 2018. CLASS is dedicated to its mission – working toward a community where each belongs. CLASS, under the 47 years of Al’s leadership, grew to become the third largest disability specific agency in Southwestern PA with a budget of $16 million and a staff and payroll complement of 400. CLASS was listed in the 50 “Best Places to Work” in Allegheny County, PA in 2007 and 2011.

The Beyond Limits Conference is a quality professional development experience. The topics are diverse and relevant, and the speakers are fantastic.
