ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY
AND COMMUNICATION

Conference on advanced technology for children with developmental disabilities and persons with disabilities

Mozaik Event Center, Zagreb, Croatia

21st – 22nd October 2026


ATAAC 2026 introduces a new, enhanced format: two parallel events within one conference. We are raising the standard by combining everyday practice with the latest research into one integrated, shared event.

The ATAAC Professional Conference remains the largest and most attended part of ATAAC – a meeting place for special educators, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, teachers, engineers, innovators, parents and users. With more than 1,000 participants from over 50 countries, ATAAC is the largest Professional Conference on assistive technology and AAC in Europe. Participants can expect top-level lectures, hands-on workshops, technology demonstrations, an exhibition zone and the unique ATAAC Playground.
The new ATAAC Scientific Conference adds extra value – scientific papers, oral presentations and posters for participants who want to explore selected topics in more depth. It brings together researchers, experts and the academic community to present and discuss current international research.
Both components are part of the same event, and the professional and scientific programs complement and enrich one another.
The conference is supported by international organizations ISAAC, AAATE, ATIA, and DATEurope.

Early bird registration is available until 15 May 2026.
