John Slatin Virtual AccessU 2021

Accessible Design and Digital Inclusion Skills are more important than ever! AccessU 2021 is THE place to learn and connect: May 13, 18-20

Attend Virtual AccessU 2021

Whatever your role in digital accessibility, wherever you are on your journey, there is simply no better place to learn and connect to the global community than the annual John Slatin AccessU conference. Produced by Knowbility since 2004 and as a virtual conference since 2020, here is what people say about AccessU:

“When people have asked, ‘How was the conference?’ I have told them, ‘It’s the best accessibility conference there is!’ Your conference truly inspired me, challenged me, and sent me home with more knowledge than I expected.”
—Corbb O’Connor, Accessibility Testing Operations Manager, Site Improve, and AccessU attendee
