Upcoming
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.”

Stop by our table in the Grand Ballroom to meet the authors attending M-Enabling and chat about digital accessibility ethics. Books will be available for purchase at a discounted price, and authors will be available to sign them.
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.
Thanks to the Seattle Area Accessibility & Inclusion Meet Up and the Microsoft Accessibility LAb for hosting this digital accessibility ethics book event. Come chat with authors Lainey Feingold, Matt May, Margaux Joffe, and Meena Das. They are 4 of 39 authors of the new book Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech. This “A11ySEA” Meet Up is being graciously hosted by Bryce Johnson at the Microsoft Inclusive Tech Lab. More about the book at AccessibilityEthics.org
