Ending digital exclusion is a must. How can we do that? By listening to people with disabilities, creating inclusive technology, and using new tools without putting up barriers. While it might not be simple, the goal of digital inclusion in 2D and 3D technologies can change many lives. Ashley Coffey and Alexa Huth bring their lived experiences and enthusiasm to this interactive session. Participants will learn how inclusive digital spaces can create impactful experiences and bring people together in meaningful ways. They will also learn how to identify and help resolve inaccessible digital experiences in everyday life.
