Join us for an engaging panel discussion where we will explore the critical intersection of accessibility and human-centered design. In the world of design, the true impact of our work is realized when we prioritize the people that will interact with it and ensure that as many people as possible can benefit from the solutions we create. This event will showcase how thoughtful collaboration leads to more inclusive and powerful outcomes when accessibility is integrated into human-centered design practices. Join us as we explore how we can elevate the design process and make a lasting impact on the lives of many.
