“A friendly presenter with a good level of detail. I learned so much and it was all so helpful. It was a great overview of accessibility features and how people can improve experiences for others”.

The speaking sessions opened my eyes to the range of disabilities and that reasonable adjustments are not always physical, or expensive. It gave me a new perspective on disability.

The whole session was very well delivered, it was clear and covered so much. It had a really knowledgeable and open speaker and the stats in particular were incredibly useful and informative. It felt like a genuinely safe space to ask questions and not worry about saying the wrong thing!
