Join us at the 5th annual Design + Accessibility Summit, the essential HOW-TO event for design professionals who need to master accessibility, being held online October 8–11, 2024.
It’s no secret that accessibility is 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 and cognitive challenges, or other disabilities. Those who develop expertise in accessibility will find themselves in high demand; while those who don’t will risk falling behind.
At The Design + Accessibility Summit, you will learn practical techniques for building accessible documents with InDesign, Acrobat, PowerPoint, and other tools widely used by creative professionals.
Can’t join us live? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. . .
Registration includes on-demand access to session and Q&A recordings until October 11, 2025, so you can soak in the knowledge at your own pace.
