10 Things Social Purpose Organizations Need to Know About Digital Accessibility
Featuring Jay Wall
Is your brand and website inclusive and accessible to your entire audience? With about 16% of the global population experiencing some form of disability, it's essential that your digital presence doesn't leave anyone out. Yet, many nonprofits and social-purpose businesses overlook this critical aspect of inclusivity.
Accessibility is about designing your products, services, and digital spaces so they can be used by as many people as possible—recognizing that "one-size-fits-all" simply doesn't cut it. In this session, we'll dive into what digital accessibility really means, why it matters, and how you can start making your organization’s presence more inclusive today.
Attend this session to:
Understand the key elements of digital accessibility and why they matter.
Learn how to make your design processes more inclusive from the ground up.
Discover practical tools to assess and improve your website’s accessibility.
Get actionable steps to enhance your digital accessibility efforts.
