BEDA Connect: Accessibility Second Session on 5 November

Following the first event in the accessibility series, BEDA Connect returns on 5 November at 16:00 CET for another conversation exploring the opportunities, challenges and future directions of accessible and inclusive design.

Accessibility should not be an afterthought. It should be embedded into the way we design products, services, systems and experiences from the very beginning.

Organised within the framework of the MADres project, this session will bring together leading voices from the Glorious 42 (G42) network to share insights and perspectives on designing for a more inclusive future.

This edition will feature:

Dr Niels Hendriks, G42 Expert – Accessibility and Low-Barrier Design

Christopher Hildrey, G42 Expert – Accessibility and Low-Barrier Design

Moderator: Dr Abi Hird, G42 Expert – Accessibility and Low-Barrier Design

The detailed programme and topic focus will be announced soon. However, participants can expect an engaging discussion that continues the accessibility journey launched through the MADres project, examining how design can contribute to greater inclusion, participation and innovation across society.

The session will be held online via Microsoft Teams and is free of charge.

BEDA Connect is a public platform for sharing knowledge and raising awareness around the key objectives of MADres. It brings together designers, researchers, businesses, policymakers and anyone interested in the role of design in creating more accessible and equitable futures.
