Accessibility in Action: Celebrating GAAD 2026 – Full Day Livestream | Upcoming Webinar
Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) is a time to get people talking, thinking, and learning about digital access and inclusion. This year, we’re celebrating with a full-day livestream hosted by Ben Turner, Accessible Web’s Accessibility Services Team Manager, and our team of accessibility specialists: Kelsie, Marc, Isabella, Hope, and our Digital Equity Specialist, Heather Berg.
The 9-to-5 Marathon
We’re bringing you directly into the work of our experts with an 8-hour marathon of auditing, testing, and knowledge sharing. Our five specialists will each lead two blocks, focusing on real-world components and live, unfiltered interaction.
How it Works
- You Submit Live: To make this marathon work, we need your components! Show up live and submit the links or components you want audited.
- Audit & UX Testing: The specialist will take those live submissions and spend the first portion of their block auditing or conducting UX testing. You’ll watch as we put these components through their paces using various assistive technologies.
- Knowledge Sharing: Following the test, the specialist will share meaningful insights, expert tips, or deep dives into accessibility patterns they are passionate about.
- Q&A: Come ready with any accessibility-related questions!
