What are “Accessibility” and
“Assistive Ecosystems”
and how do these affect people?
What is this all about?
Aren’t buildings “accessible”?
How we access and interact with the world is a personal experience that affects each of us in different ways throughout our lives.
The way we address and improve accessibility is evolving and we are going to tackle hot topics related to accessibility through intimate but fast-paced round-table discussions with people who are experiencing, leading, and affecting positive change.
And YOUR VOICE counts too!

Discover what YOU can do to make a difference in
HOW the world is experienced and designed.
