Discussions on accessibility are quite popular these days. Despite its importance and the effort involved, accessibility issues persist, with lawsuits doubling over six years. The problem may lie in how we discuss accessibility and our lack of effective tools to address it.

You can attend this event in person at Entelect’s office in Melrose Arch or you can join in online.
