The event will fully explore the potential of emerging technologies and will focus on technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and aims to debate and promote a universal design approach in their development, supporting enhanced accessibility for persons with disabilities. The event will be sponsored by Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Amazon, My Handicap and Essl Foundation. It will be a unique opportunity for delegates and experts of the European disability movement to exchange their views with major technological companies, get to know their AI-based solutions and brainstorm together about the future of accessibility.

The event is divided in three panels. The first one will focus on Artificial Intelligence and leading technology companies will have the opportunity to explain their position and initiatives on this topic. The second panel will focus on showcasing solutions and best practices in accessibility for people with disabilities. Finally, the third panel will open up the discussion among all the participants: persons with disabilities, ICT experts and companies’ representatives will brainstorm together about the future of accessibility.

Goals of the event

  • Collect input towards a new report on emerging technologies describing the opportunities, challenges and risks that these new technologies may entail for persons with disabilities, in which several ICT players have contributed with interviews.
  • Supporting organisations of persons with disabilities (DPOs) in being aware of the main technology trends and how these can affect the lives of persons with disabilities.
  • Develop understanding of Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, Smart Homes, etc. and how these emerging technologies can be made accessible and enhance accessibility for persons with disabilities.
  • To showcase worth-knowing solutions and practices that could be picked up by OPDs and persons with disabilities, and ICT companies and organisations to receive feedback from persons with disabilities on those solutions and practices.
  • To facilitate networking between OPDs and ICT companies and organisations.
