Why I Recommend Attending the M-Enabling Summit
The M-Enabling Summit is the gold standard of accessibility conferences. It not only provided an opportunity to hear industry leaders, I had a chance to interact with them and ask questions in a one-on-one setting. This conference reinvigorated my desire to lead an accessibility charge in my company.

The M-Enabling Summit is the premier conference on IT accessibility in the international arena. Information exchanged at this conference is beneficial to companies, consumers and government agencies worldwide.

The M-Enabling Summit… Attendance is up. Exhibitors are up. And when I’ve talked to several of the exhibitors, they say their business is up. Their profits are up, their sales are up. So, on one hand, we have greater exposure of the accessibility and accommodation topic. And on the other hand, we have a greater profits and revenues, with this segment. To me, that’s a winning combination.

The mobile phone has quickly become one of the key tools for modern society. Just as with the Web, persons with disabilities expect equal access to mobile phones. And just as with the Web, mobile developers can use accessibility solutions to make their products and services better reach all of their customers, including people with disabilities.

All stakeholders involved, telecom regulators, mobile service providers, handset vendors and application developers must work together proactively to ensure that mobile technologies can fully benefit all persons with disabilities. I very much look forward to the M-Enabling Summit helping establish such dialogue.
