When more citizens have access to computing opportunities, and when computing fields are enhanced by the perspectives of people with disabilities, we all benefit. AccessComputing and AccessSIGCHI work to increase the representation of people with disabilities in computing education and careers, and advocate for disability visibility and accessibility in conference organizing. Join us to learn more about the work being done by these organizations to advance the field by making accessibility the default in conference organization and amplifying disability community perspectives and participation in robotics, assistive technology, and computing at large.
