A strategic accessibility initiative can extend your market reach to persons with disabilities and mature consumers with age-related impairments. Accessibility can help you attract, recruit, and retain maturing workers and workers with disabilities. And accessible design has been shown to improve access for everyone and improve overall productivity.

The ATIA Leadership Forum on Accessibility uses a case-study format to provide corporations, colleges/universities, and government agencies of all sizes with unique insights into how other industry-leading organizations are integrating accessibility. This year we cover an exciting array of topics and speakers including:

• Case study presentations from organizations such as AT&T, California State University, Permanent TSB (retail banking), Hilton Hotels and NY Presbyterian Hospital about the driving forces behind their accessibility initiatives and the benefits they realized.
• Educational content provided by federal government leaders like the Social Security Administration as they discuss their efforts to implement Section 508 and best practices for testing, tracking, planning and reporting.
• Informative sessions that explore solutions to address a variety of growing needs such as computer eye strain, literacy difficulties, English as a second language, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Traumatic Brain Injury, and hearing loss.
• In-depth discussions on the direction of global standards and policy, speech technology including voice recognition, accessibility for emerging technologies, and assistive technology.
• Exploring best practices for integrating accessibility into the software development process and universal design for all products.

Attendees can network with key industry executives and government policy advisors to share insights into matters of customer outreach, employment and other accessibility issues. The Leadership Forum offers the professional from any background - Accessibility, HR, IT, Product Development, Marketing and others - access to top-level strategies and the information you need to begin or enhance your accessibility integration.
