Support the Case for Digital Accessibility (Pre-conference Event)

2023 DIPC Pre-conference event. Supporting the Business Case for Digital Accessibility. Wednesday 9 August, 1pm-5pm, Auckland CBD. NZDEN and Access Advisors logos.

Many leaders share with us that they find it difficult to inspire their IT teams to action on digital accessibility. Meeting resistance in their organisation's desire to develop online products quickly, and a lack of understanding about the reasons for digital accessibility.

This year we are partnering with Access Advisors (opens in a new tab) to bring a pre-conference event focussed on supporting you to unlock the value of digital accessibility in your organisation.

Whether you are a senior leader, ICT professional, HR lead, or disability lead in your organisation, our 'Supporting the case for Digital Accessibility' will assist you to connect with the benefits yourself, preparing you to bring your whole organisation on the journey.
