The HighEdWeb Accessibility Summit is a one-day, online event focused on digital accessibility in higher education.

Learn best practices about digital accessibility and connect with your peers at other higher ed institutions. Beginners and experts, non-technical and technical users, and everyone in-between will benefit from attending the Accessibility Summit!

Join us Tuesday, July 30, 2024, as we learn and work together to make the digital space accessible to everyone.
