Day 1
Tuesday, June 1st | Innovation + Design
Accessibility is oftentimes a catalyst for innovation, as the saying goes, “necessity is the mother of invention.” When we talk about inclusive design, we are talking about a universality of approach that meets the needs of everyone. Accessibility is not something that just happens. It is about making deliberate, inclusive design and innovation decisions. Learn about the innovative technologies, research and design contributing to the creation of those assistive and adaptive technologies that are helping to create a universally accessible world today.
Day 2
Wednesday, June 2nd | Living
Arts and culture are essential for building community, nurturing health and well-being, and contributing to economic opportunity. In public spaces, in culture and in the arts, people live, create and imagine. Hear from those organizations that are re-imagining and adapting those spaces, and the programming and services, through technology to create universal experiences for everyone.
Day 3
Thursday, June 3rd | Workplace + Education
Assistive technology innovations for people with disabilities are playing a huge part in making both work and education more accessible in the virtual world, by supporting essential functions such as teaching, job function, communication and organization. Learn how technologies are continuing to adapt to support accessibility in the workplace and in the classroom.
