Dear Colleagues,
Please register for the hybrid digital accessibility event, Assistive Technology & Mobile Accessibility: Quick Checks with Tools You Already Have, on April 2, 2026.
Overview of Event
As we move closer to the April 2026 deadline for ensuring your public-facing content is accessible, you’ll need a way to quickly check websites, documents, and any content that will be publicly available.
