Upcoming
As part of Knowbility’s Be A Digital Ally (BADA) series, Lainey Feingold, Jess Moore Matthews, and Erin Brown will introduce the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework and explore how its values, actions, and questions can help advance disability inclusion in technology. The authors will also share real-world examples involving accessible voting and emergency preparedness and offer practical ways to use the Framework to identify and prevent disability exclusion.
Join 6 of the 39 authors of Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech as we help kick off 24 hours of accessibility learning goodness at the 2026 #ID24 gathering. We’ll have a fast-paced conversation about the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework and how the authors have applied it in their chapters about development, procurement, speech to text technology, global accessibility leadership, and the law. All 24 hours are free, no registration required. Full Playlist for this year’s 24 hour event here. Inclusive Design 24 homepage here.
Lainey is excited to offer a keynote talk at this one-day accessibility gathering sponsored by Öbí, the Icelandic Disability Alliance and IAAP Nordic (International Association of Accessibility Professionals). The event celebrates Iceland’s 2026 adoption of the Web Accessibility Directive. Lainey will be talking about strategies for making a new law work in practice, including working with disabled stakeholders, developing collaboration skills, celebrating achievements, and being guided by the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework.
As described on the M-Enabling website, Lainey will “introduce the central ideas from Digital Accessibility Ethics, a new multi‑author volume that reframes accessibility as an ethical imperative. The book features global perspectives and introduces the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework, a practical, three‑part tool that helps organizations evaluate products, policies, and AI systems through values, actions, and guiding questions. Drawing on contributions from 39 authors across 10 countries, the talk highlights how ethical decision‑making can reduce risks of disability exclusion and support more inclusive digital environments as technology rapidly evolves.”

Lainey is looking forward to being a panelist at this seminar led by civil rights lawyer Eve Hill. Drawing from her 30 years in the digital accessibility space, Lainey will share advocacy strategies to help advocates and organizations build a long-lasting commitment to digital accessibility as they work toward meeting the Title II requirements. Centering disabled people, building relationships, strategic negotiations, and the the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework will be critical.
