Welcome Message from the Chair of the Accessibility Professionals Forum
This year marks an exciting new chapter as the ICT Accessibility Testing Symposium and the IAAP Expert Forum come together to create a unified event: The Accessibility Professionals Forum, presented by IAAP and hosted at the M-Enabling Summit.
The annual ICT Accessibility Testing Symposium was founded in 2016. Prior to this, testing coverage at accessibility conferences was usually limited to just a few sessions. Outside of conferences, promotional webinars were one of the main ways to learn about innovations in testing. We developed the symposium to meet the shared need of accessibility professionals to present and discuss research and practice. Since its inception, the symposium has been the only peer-reviewed event focused exclusively on accessibility testing.
This year’s collaboration started as a hallway conversation at the 2024 M-Enabling Summit between Christopher Lee, G3ict President and Chair of the IAAP Expert Forum, and me. The idea of bringing the best of both worlds together was compelling. The G3ict/IAAP team brings their collective experience to organizing the renowned annual M-Enabling Summit while the ICT Testing Symposium team contributes their knowledge and expertise to developing a tightly focused program of peer-reviewed content.
We welcome your submissions in response to this call for presentations for the Accessibility Professionals Forum and look forward to your participation at the 2025 M-Enabling Summit.
