Staying aligned with these dates will support a smooth submission process, timely preparation, and a meaningful experience at this internationally recognized disability & rehabilitation conference.
Abstract submission marks the first step in contributing to WDRC 2027. Authors are invited to submit abstracts exploring emerging issues and innovative practices in disability and rehabilitation, including inclusive healthcare, mental health and well-being, assistive technology, accessibility, rehabilitation approaches, inclusive education and employment, disability rights and policy, resilience, economic empowerment, and interdisciplinary research.
Early submission provides greater opportunities for inclusion in the conference program and enables authors to contribute to meaningful discussions shaping the future of disability inclusion and rehabilitation through innovative technologies, inclusive practices, resilient systems, and global collaboration.
WDRC 2027 places strong emphasis on timely communication. All submitted abstracts will be reviewed promptly, and authors will receive an acceptance decision within two weeks of submission. This allows participants to plan ahead, prepare their presentations, complete registration, and make the necessary arrangements for onsite or virtual participation.
Early-bird registration offers reduced rates for students, researchers, rehabilitation and healthcare professionals, academics, policymakers, disability advocates, practitioners, and industry representatives. Registering early provides cost savings while allowing participants to receive timely program updates, speaker announcements, workshop details, and information about the special features of WDRC 2027.
Participants who are unable to register during the early-bird period may confirm their participation before the regular registration deadline. Completing registration within this timeframe secures a place at WDRC 2027, whether attending physically in Siem Reap, Cambodia, or participating virtually.
To support effective session coordination and high-quality presentations, all presenters are required to submit their presentation slides by the specified deadline. Timely submission will help the organizing team complete the necessary technical arrangements and ensure a smooth experience across onsite and virtual sessions.
Participants interested in publication opportunities are invited to submit their full papers by the announced deadline. Submitted papers may be considered for the conference proceedings, special issues, or partner journals, subject to the relevant peer-review and editorial processes.
Timely submission supports an efficient publication process and allows authors to benefit from manuscript guidance, journal-matching assistance, and research-development services offered through WDRC 2027.
The 12th World Disability and Rehabilitation Conference (WDRC) 2027 will bring together a global community of researchers, rehabilitation and healthcare professionals, policymakers, disability advocates, institutional leaders, students, innovators, and industry representatives in Siem Reap, Cambodia, and online.
Across the two conference days, participants will engage in keynote and plenary sessions, research presentations, interactive workshops, panel discussions, networking activities, and collaborative forums aligned with the conference theme: “Bridging the Divide: Resilience in Global Disability & Rehabilitation.”
WDRC 2027 is more than an academic gathering. It is an international platform connecting research, professional practice, technological innovation, policy, advocacy, and lived experience.
By staying aligned with these important dates, participants can effectively plan their conference journey, share their work with an international audience, build meaningful collaborations, and contribute to more inclusive, accessible, resilient, and equitable societies.
