Upcoming
Lainey is glad to be back at Axe-con to talk about what’s happening in the digital accessibility legal space. We’ll focus mainly on the United States, but also touch on how US-based companies are impacted by digital accessibility legal developments around the globe. We’ll take an honest look at the negative impacts of the current administration while finding hope in the strong legal foundation that supports digital inclusion.

Discover the Digital Accessibility Ethics Framework — a new tool to advance ethical disability inclusion in tech and help people and organizations avoid risks and harms of excluding disabled people. Come for a sneak peak at the groundbreaking book on this subject — written by 39 authors including 3 editors, with 600+ years of accessibility and disability experience — will be published in April.
Lainey’s digital accessibility legal update has long been a popular session at the annual CSUN conference — a gathering Lainey has attended for 26 years. This will be a lightning talk focused on what’s happening in the US — including the challenges and what can give us hope. Join us!
