The first National deaf conference was held on 26-27th April 2008. The NAD invited delegates from all deaf organisations all over the country. The response was overwhelming. A huge number of delegates from 14 states swamped the convention center and an amazing synergy developed.

Deaf leaders from across India coming together to discuss advocacy and disability issues across the board was unprecedented. Various strategies for approaching the govt and tackling the problems faced by deaf persons were discussed. Notable speakers at the event included Mr Colin Gonsalves Supreme court advocate, Justice Zac Yacoob from the Constitutional Court of South Africa, Dr. Surinder Randhawa among others.

The 260 delegates were each given a package of material developed by the NAD for understanding legal process and the rights under law.

The entire proceedings are available in Sign language on video.
