Let’s talk about the world beyond the pandemic.

As we begin to return to normal, the world as we knew it will never be the same. We’ve become digitally dependent and now need to figure out how to transition to in-person, while continuing to value digital.

Our future is looking very hybrid.

At ACCESS, we explored:

  • Accessibility lessons from the pandemic
  • How organizations can ensure their hybrid workplaces are accessible
  • How will companies who don’t address web accessibility struggle to transition back
  • Legal landscape of accessibility in 2021
