Why e-access 13

It's the accessibility event

In the internet age, every organisation is a technology organisation.

From computers to smartphones and the web, your employees use technology and your customers or service users do as well. With millions in the UK affected by some form of disability, from dyslexia to mobility problems, no organisation can afford to be using technology that is not as accessible as possible. And there is a legal requirement for reasonable access.

Whatever stage you are at with your thinking on 'e-accessibility', our conference will help, from practical advice on where to start to more detailed discussion groups to hone expertise.
