2025 Global Accessibility Awareness Day

Mark your calendars for Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)! This important day is dedicated to fostering conversation about digital access and inclusion for everyone. We invite you to join us for an engaging event featuring two insightful guest speakers, a dynamic DU student panel sharing their experiences, and interactive breakout sessions exploring various aspects of accessibility. Come learn more about the impact of accessibility, including digital accessibility and gain practical knowledge on how you can take meaningful action to promote inclusion in your work. Lunch will be provided for all attendees. See you there!

To ensure a welcoming and supportive environment for all attendees, we’re providing live captioning, generously provided by VZP Digital, to enhance communication access. Additionally, a sensory room will be available for those who may need a moment of calm or a break from the event’s activities.
