How to avoid surface-level inclusion of people with disabilities in tech
How can digital teams enact meaningful inclusion practices?

Unresolved equity gaps are still everywhere, which can impact the over 1 billion people with disabilities. For example, mandated company tools that aren’t accessible, resistance to change from colleagues, or non-disabled colleagues leading discussions about accessibility.

So, what is needed to stop sticking to basic HR checklists, and instead truly change the culture of teams? Join Fable for our premier lightning talk event featuring three accessibility leaders. Hosted by Sam Proulx, the speakers will reflect on inclusion practices in the tech sector through their own experiences.

Come with your questions!
