Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation about inclusion, empowerment, and the future of accessibility. Sessions will explore ethical questions, cultural impacts, and practical approaches to providing access and assistance while fostering independence. Each session will address accessibility and inclusion issues with a focus on ethics and technology. Through expert presentations, we plan to provide diverse perspectives on disability and accessibility. Whether you are a student, educator, or member of the public, this event offers a valuable opportunity to engage with critical bioethical issues and be part of the movement toward a more inclusive society.
This event is free and open to the public. Attend any or all the sessions. Sign language interpreters will be present to ensure full participation for the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community.
