Join us at The Design + Accessibility Summit, the essential HOW-TO event for design professionals who need to master accessibility, coming to a device near you November 29–December 2, 2022.
It’s no secret that accessibility is currently a hot topic. In fact, ensuring your documents are accessible is not just a good idea: it’s the law. Whether you’re extending your company’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) focus, expanding your market to include the estimated 25% of the population who have disabilities, or safeguarding your company against legal risks, it’s important to make accessibility a business priority.
Creative professionals must learn how to design documents that are accessible for people with vision and hearing impairments, mobility challenges, cognitive, and other disabilities. And those who ramp up their knowledge and expertise in accessibility will find themselves in high demand supporting their business’ efforts; while those who don’t will risk falling behind.
At The Design + Accessibility Summit, you will learn practical techniques for building accessible documents with Adobe InDesign, Acrobat, Microsoft PowerPoint, and other tools widely used by creative professionals.

- What does it mean to be Section 508 compliant, and conform with WCAG guidelines? How do the ADA and other civil rights laws fit in? (Note: this event covers both U.S. and international accessibility topics)

- Best practices for paragraph and character styles
