The virtual event showcases inspirational talks and insights from industry leaders to the digital accessibility and inclusive design community on business advantage, policy, culture change and leadership.
Starting on 16 November, TechShare Pro 2021, the digital accessibility conference for technology professionals organised by AbilityNet, is back for another year and will take place virtually over three days.
With three key strategics themes on business advantage, policy & legislation and accessibility leadership, the event brings together digital accessibility and inclusion specialists from Europe and beyond to connect and learn from each other.
To highlight the fact that accessibility is vital every day, a new service is introduced for accessibility leaders. TechShare Pro 365 is a year-round newsletter brings accessibility and inclusion content and learning resources, along with interviews and articles.
Mark Walker, Head of Marketing at AbilityNet, commented, “Last year TechShare Pro 2020 attracted over 900 delegates from over 300 organisations, and this year we’re expecting the conference to be even bigger. AbilityNet’s view is that there should be ‘a digital world accessible to all’. By launching TechShare Pro every year, we’re able to bring like-minded industry experts and delegates together to teach, learn, and broaden their experience in the digital accessibility arena, helping to create a more inclusive space.”
Sponsored by Microsoft, the event will host a range of panel discussions with key industry players, roundtable conversations, and exhibition booths with sponsors and businesses such as Barclays, Facebook, Google, Intuit, and Sony and more to confirm.
Throughout the conference, guests will be able to attend keynotes and panel discussions that will feature global expert insights on a range of topics, including the business advantage of accessibility and inclusion, legislation and accessibility, inclusive workplaces, how to meet European and UK public sector accessibility regulations, accessibility leadership and changing culture, plus much more – there’s something for everyone from every industry.
In addition to the range of expert-led sessions there will be lots of opportunities for networking with the accessibility and inclusion tech community from around the world.
Hector Minto, Global Lead Accessibility Evangelism at Microsoft, said, “We’re delighted to be involved in this years’ TechShare Pro as lead sponsors of the conference. This event always delivers an informative conference which highlights the need for further digital inclusion and accessibility awareness across all industries. Microsoft prides itself on digital accessibility and we’re excited to share insights and support delegates on their digital accessibility journey.”
This year TechShare Pro has also collaborated with IT PRO, the comprehensive technology news & reviews hub for IT professionals, as its sole media partner.
Maggie Holland, global editorial director and head of content at IT Pro, said, “IT Pro is thrilled to be joining forces with TechShare Pro as its media partner. TechShare Pro is such a valuable event bringing together skilled technology professionals to create awareness and discuss key accessibility topics. IT Pro provides real-world insight and advice to guide business and technology decision-makers, so working with the conference seems like a perfect fit and completely aligns with our expertise and values.”
