What the Pandemic Has Taught Us About How to Make Every Meeting More Accessible: Online or Hybrid Learning that Leaves No One Behind

The COVID-19 pandemic forced both schools and corporations to figure out how to swiftly get remote, distance, and hybrid learning ready for everyone. Many of our government and higher-ed institutions were saying “I finally get it” regarding the importance of eAccessibility for both synchronous and asynchronous events. Challenges formerly experienced by a minority of attendees suddenly became challenges for the majority, leading to breakthrough opportunities to improve the entire meeting ecosystem.

Post-pandemic, how we interact will have changed forever, in ways that have the power to benefit everyone, advancing equity, diversity, and inclusion. David will share experience and insights that will help you include everyone in learning, whether remote or in person while enjoying the “Accessibility Dividend” for all.
