Exploring technology’s impact on accessibility, disability inclusion, and the future of workforce innovation.

The National Organization on Disability invites leaders across business, technology, and advocacy to engage in a meaningful exploration of the ways in which emerging technologies (including AI, extended reality, and smart devices) are shaping the accessibility landscape and changing disability inclusion in the workforce.
