Three workplace inclusion sessions to look forward to at TechShare Pro 2022
Kelly Chan | 03 Nov 2022Disabled people continue to face barriers at their place of work every day. As an employer, manager, or team leader, you can help remove barriers for everyone, including disabled employees and candidates, by creating a more inclusive workplace.
A great way to learn how to remove barriers in the workplace is to understand disability inclusion and build on your accessibility skills. Taking place online on 15, 16 and 17 November 2022, is AbilityNet's TechShare Pro, Europe’s largest gathering of accessibility and disability inclusion professionals - and their allies.
We've listed some key TechShare Pro sessions and workshops, where you can expand your learning on how to create accessible and inclusive workplaces and why it's important. These sessions can also help make the case for senior leaders to invest in disability inclusion.
1. Keynote: Why inclusion is good for business - 15th November at 10am GMT
While inclusion is beneficial to all, it also improves your business. Inclusion and accessibility can strengthen your brand, strategy, and relationship with employees and customers.
Join this exciting keynote session to learn from Ian Stuart, CEO of HSBC UK, and Alex Mahon, CEO of Channel 4 as they discuss and provide examples of how embracing inclusivity and accessibility benefits their organisations.
2. Lunch and Learn session: Designing for neurodiversity – 17th November at 1pm GMT
As well as workshops, join our lunch and learn sessions with a community three-day ticket and learn from not one, but two neurodiversity focussed sessions.
Led by AbilityNet's accessibility consultants, Rina Wharton and Ashley Peacock, who have lived experience of neurodiversity, join this workshop to discover the solutions, technology and designs that exist to help remove neurodiversity barriers online and in workplace settings.
3. Disability Policy and Strategy - 16th November at 10:45am GMT
What is happening to disability policy in the UK and Europe? Do we need more carrots? Or bigger sticks? Catch up on the latest news about Disability Policy and Strategy in the UK and Europe.
