Description

What is the best way to overcome the barriers created by people and organisations who do not consider accessibility and inclusive design when building digital services and products? Do we simply need to raise awareness of the business benefits of accessibility, or do we need more effective legal frameworks to focus the minds of decision-makers?

Our panel offered a perspective on this question from around the globe - including the US, Europe, Israel and Norway.
