Digital Inclusion:
Strategies for Equal Opportunities
Attracting leading advocates, corporate executives and accessibility professionals involved in digital inclusion, the M-Enabling Summit is an all-inclusive conference and showcase offering rich networking opportunities, fostering innovative technology that benefits more than one-billion Persons with Disabilities and an expanding population of aging adults globally.
With its theme of âDigital Inclusion: Strategies for Equal Opportunities,â the 2022 M-Enabling Summit, in celebration of its 10th anniversary, will explore the latest innovations and major trends in business, government and education that are accelerating the pursuit of universal accessibility for digital products, contents, and services. Convened annually in Washington, D.C., the M-Enabling Summit brings together key decision makers from all sectors facilitating unique exchanges, collaborations, solutions-sharing and thought leadership activities.
The 2022 M-Enabling Summit features panel discussions, open conversations with disrupters in digital inclusion, instant polls, networking meetups, brainstorming and live debates among advocacy leaders, business executives, and technology providers.
On day three of the Summit, the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP) will host a thought leadership Expert Forum on strategies to scale up digital accessibility implementations.
Online participation in the pre-Summit Innovation Sprint working groups is encouraged and open to all interested parties. Remote access to key session recordings will be available post-Summit.
The M-Enabling Summit is committed to working with the venue, service providers, and vendors to a âhealth safety firstâ approach throughout all phases of event production and onsite execution. Health safety protocols will be updated periodically, based on applicable CDC and local authorities’ recommendations for public meetings.
