We’re excited to celebrate Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) with a special event at our Edinburgh headquarters — and you can join us in person or online!

Whether you're working in digital, design, tech, or simply passionate about inclusion, this is a great opportunity to connect, learn, and be inspired.

What to expect on the day:

• Talks from accessibility advocates and experts – including presentations from our own Snigdha Ramkumar on Accommodating Neurodiverse Users Online and from Kevin White, Accessibility Technical Lead, W3C on WCAG 3.0: the why’s, wherefores, and where the hell are we?
• Live demos and hands-on activities showcasing inclusive technology and design
• An interactive empathy workshop focused on neurodiversity, helping you gain new perspectives through lived experience
• Networking opportunities with others who care about digital inclusion and accessibility
• Online streaming of the talks for those who can’t attend in person

UPDATE - our in-person tickets have now sold out, but you can join our two speaking slots online!

Let’s come together to make digital experiences better for everyone.
